FutureA
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it. The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Curtis Jacobs, 46 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick56
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Value said wait; Christian Haynes in pick No. 56 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matt Goncalves in Round 3, Pick 16, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Taking Payton Wilson in the 87th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A wild overpay on Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 125, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129
Rnd4
Kamal Hadden
They paid up for Kamal Hadden at slot 129 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Curtis Jacobs
They reached into another round for Curtis Jacobs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Johnson at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick158
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
A conviction pick on Grayson Murphy at Round 5, Pick 22 that the board grades a round light. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 164 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173
Rnd5
Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at the 173rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213
Rnd6
Dylan McMahon
They talked themselves into Dylan McMahon at slot 213, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 226th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242
Rnd7
Donell Harris Jr.
Donell Harris Jr. at pick 242 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250
Rnd7
Aaron Frost
They paid sticker price for Aaron Frost in No. 250, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Thomas. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
