FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent pick No. 170 on Tyler Batty, a name the board had a full 127 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach No. 45 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at slot 115 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at the 148th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150
Rnd5
Sebastian Castro
Taking Sebastian Castro in Round 5, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick170
Rnd5
Tyler Batty
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Batty. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
A big swing on Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 173, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at pick 186 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209
Rnd6
KJ Jefferson
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at the 209th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
Steal is underselling it; Jake Briningstool at slot 232 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247
Rnd7
Micah Morris
They reached into another round for Micah Morris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
