FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B. Whoever sat across the table from the Cowboys should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
They are betting Barham proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Anderson. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
It is not that Barham is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
A straight-up fair deal on Jermod McCoy at the 20th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Zion Young
In slot 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
By-the-book stuff, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 49th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jacob Rodriguez
A reach on Jacob Rodriguez in Round 2, Pick 26; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jaishawn Barham
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaishawn Barham adds an edge rusher and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick97
Rnd3
Treydan Stukes
A reasonable price with a little left over, Treydan Stukes in pick No. 97. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick 138 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Aamil Wagner graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd5
Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A clean, defensible pick in No. 180 with a little surplus value in Kaleb Elarms-Orr. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196
Rnd6
Aaron Anderson
They barely believed it either: Aaron Anderson still on the board at Round 6, Pick 15. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd7
Harrison Wallace III
Harrison Wallace III slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
