The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 85. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Sampson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In No. 7 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick14
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Mykel Williams at the 14th pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Walker in pick 33. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick34
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 34, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick48
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slipping to slot 48 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jalen Royals
They paid a round early for Jalen Royals in pick 52, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Danny Stutsman well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cade Klubnik
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cade Klubnik. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 85 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 102nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
They talked themselves into Daylen Everette at No. 103, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dylan Sampson
Somehow Dylan Sampson was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 9, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
