FutureB
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Amegadjie: D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
The Sweat reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Amegadjie at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Value with a capital V on Dallas Turner in Round 1, Pick 24, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick36
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A tidy bit of business in slot 36, where Keon Coleman graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They talked themselves into T'Vondre Sweat at No. 40, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, J.J. McCarthy at the 56th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
The board had Jeremiah Trotter Jr. higher than the 67th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 68 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102
Rnd4
DJ James
A conviction pick on DJ James at the 102nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
Somehow Bucky Irving was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 141 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142
Rnd5
Javon Foster
Javon Foster is a better player than pick No. 142 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 174 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at No. 181 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in the 212th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223
Rnd7
Tanor Bortolini
They let Tanor Bortolini come to them and pounced at the 223rd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in No. 245 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
