FutureD-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Taylen Green, 95 picks early at the Round 5 slot.
The Paul Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In slot 20 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A quiet steal in No. 48: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson is a better player than the 55th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at pick No. 76. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Savion Williams
A reach for Savion Williams in slot 105; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in Round 4, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in pick No. 113 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Taking Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 117th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
The board had cheaper options than Oronde Gadsden II at No. 121, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Nicholas Singleton in pick 152, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 168th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
Taylen Green
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taylen Green in the 170th overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 209 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jaishawn Barham
The board fumbled Jaishawn Barham all the way to Round 7, Pick 34, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
