Larceny in pick 257 lands the Cowboys a B+, Milum and all. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Wyatt Milum, the No. 36 name on the board, stolen at pick 257.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick44
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
Steal is underselling it; Shemar Stewart at Round 2, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in No. 67 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 76th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
A tidy bit of business in the 102nd overall pick, where Dylan Fairchild graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in pick 103 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 119 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cam Ward
Somehow Cam Ward was still sitting there in pick No. 126, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150
Rnd5
Armand Membou
They barely believed it either: Armand Membou still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at No. 165 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190
Rnd6
T.J. Sanders
Circle this one: T.J. Sanders at Round 6, Pick 12 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211
Rnd6
Xavier Restrepo
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Restrepo in pick 211, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in the 249th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at the 257th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
