Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THECowboys
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the Round 5 slot on Rayshaun Benny, a name most had 34 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Weigman pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In slot 13 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jonah Coleman
In the 24th overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Darrell Jackson Jr.
They talked themselves into Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 48, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 114 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at the 152nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177
Rnd5
Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182
Rnd5
Antonio Kite
Good price on Antonio Kite in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
No edge and no loss on Trey Zuhn III in slot 220; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231
Rnd7
Conner Weigman
The board had Conner Weigman higher than Round 7, Pick 13, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
