FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyler Batty; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 111 spots ahead at the Round 6 slot.
Getting Sanders where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 44. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 49th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in pick 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83
Rnd3
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in the 83rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in No. 86 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Riley Leonard
They reached a country mile for Riley Leonard at slot 89, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 20 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 168 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at the 170th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at No. 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
A wild overpay on Tyler Batty in the 186th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick209
Rnd6
Addison West
Addison West in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick 218 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 247th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
