FutureB
Fortune should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B+. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how O'Donnell Fortune got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 170th overall pick.
Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Will Campbell
Good price on Will Campbell in Round 1, Pick 18, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick20
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
A slide stopped in the 44th overall pick, with Malaki Starks worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick49
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at No. 49 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Circle this one: Elic Ayomanor at pick 76 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston slid further than he should have, and slot 82 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
They robbed the room for Dylan Sampson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick No. 127 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at the 150th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at No. 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kobe King
The board fumbled Kobe King all the way to pick No. 172, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Cam Jackson
Value said wait; Cam Jackson in the 174th overall pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in Round 6, Pick 12 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser is a better player than slot 211 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at pick 249, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
