FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The KJ Jefferson selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 98 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In slot 12 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jack Bech
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Jack Bech. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 87th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cody Simon
A slide stopped in pick No. 150, with Cody Simon worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick 160 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown is a better player than slot 170 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
They paid sticker price for Willie Lampkin in No. 172, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick190
Rnd6
Xavier Scott
They barely believed it either: Xavier Scott still on the board at pick No. 190. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
A real head-scratcher, Jake Briningstool in Round 6, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick 249 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick251
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
Value said wait; KJ Jefferson in the 251st pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
