Crazylife DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

FutureB
The Cowboys let Shough fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. When a board-topper like Tyler Shough slides to pick 170, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.
Sanders has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 14 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at No. 53 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at the 84th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Nice patience on Jordan Phillips, who had no business lasting to the 117th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in pick 149 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in pick No. 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 174 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ajani Cornelius reach the 188th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 211 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. It adds depth where they could use a little.
