FutureB-
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Tyreak Sapp at pick 173 is 106 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
However the rest shakes out, Winston Jr. at that price is a win they earned. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th overall pick they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 45th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A premium they did not need to pay, Dylan Fairchild a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tez Johnson in slot 115, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in Round 5, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 168 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick170
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at the 170th pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173
Rnd5
Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at No. 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick186
Rnd6
Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the 186th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jacob Parrish
A tidy little value on Jacob Parrish in slot 209, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for KJ Jefferson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
