Grand theft in the 170th overall pick: the Cowboys steal Moss and grade out a B. You could see the war room lean forward. Miller Moss at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
By-the-book stuff, Emeka Egbuka at the 13th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 12: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 98 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Ollie Gordon II
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 99, where Ollie Gordon II graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 113th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, DeMonte Capehart in slot 148, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151
Rnd5
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169
Rnd5
Donovan Edwards
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Edwards in No. 169. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Miller Moss
Miller Moss at pick 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kobe Hudson
Value with a capital V on Kobe Hudson in slot 172, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188
Rnd6
Nick Martin
No edge and no loss on Nick Martin in the 188th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at Round 6, Pick 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Aydan White
Aydan White is a better player than pick No. 244 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
