FutureD-
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a F to match. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Mason Taylor, the No. 97 name on the board, stolen at the 170th overall pick. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.
Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with cornerback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick17
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In the 28th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 44th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and pick No. 76 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach No. 148 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in pick 168, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at Round 5, Pick 33. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
They will replay Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 173 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick186
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
A reach for Miles Frazier in pick No. 186; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jared Wilson in Round 6, Pick 34. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Taking Clay Webb in slot 248 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
