FutureA
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Garrett Dellinger in pick No. 247. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Belton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In slot 27 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in the 44th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins is a better player than pick No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Tai Felton
Tai Felton at No. 91 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
They paid a round early for O'Donnell Fortune in Round 5, Pick 1, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
By-the-book stuff, Bhayshul Tuten at the 149th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jay Higgins in pick 171, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in No. 174, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
A big swing on Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 176, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187
Rnd6
R.J. Mickens
They reached a country mile for R.J. Mickens at slot 187, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jermari Harris
A real head-scratcher, Jermari Harris in Round 6, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Hamilton. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Sam Brown Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Sam Brown Jr. a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in Round 7, Pick 31 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
