Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 32: the Cowboys steal Ransom and grade out a B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Lathan Ransom got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at slot 248.
Reaching for Sorrell left real value on the table behind him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 14th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at slot 115 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
The board fumbled Luke Kandra all the way to pick 168, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170
Rnd5
Tosh Baker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tosh Baker this early at No. 170. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach the 173rd pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209
Rnd6
Pat Bryant
They will replay Pat Bryant at slot 209 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in No. 248 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
