The McCord reach set the tone, and the Cowboys never recovered: F. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It bottoms out at a F.
If McCord pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
That Tuten pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
No drama and no debate, Matthew Golden went about where he belonged in pick No. 12. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick14
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
A conviction pick on Omarion Hampton at pick 14 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board had Jalon Walker higher than No. 33, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 51st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 3, Pick 12 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Kyle McCord
They talked themselves into Kyle McCord at slot 94, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 116th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King at No. 135 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in pick No. 149 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 33, where Bhayshul Tuten graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
They paid sticker price for Kyle Williams in slot 174, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson slipping to the 191st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
They paid a round early for Luke Lachey in pick 197, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204
Rnd6
Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
A clean, defensible pick in the 211th overall pick with a little surplus value in Nazir Stackhouse. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ja'Quinden Jackson
A quiet steal in slot 239: Ja'Quinden Jackson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247
Rnd7
Bru McCoy
They went early on Bru McCoy in Round 7, Pick 31, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
