FutureB
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jordan Hancock, 67 picks early at the Round 5 slot.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Logan Wilson leading the way. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 17th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 57th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at Round 3, Pick 13 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
They paid a round early for Darius Alexander in pick 85, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Will Howard
They paid sticker price for Will Howard in slot 103, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach pick No. 114 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom slid further than he should have, and pick 115 is lovely value for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick137
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
The board had cheaper options than Luke Kandra at the 137th pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quincy Riley well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jordan Hancock
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Hancock. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick171
Rnd5
Alijah Huzzie
A real head-scratcher, Alijah Huzzie in the 171st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172
Rnd5
Upton Stout
A conviction pick on Upton Stout at pick No. 172 that the board grades a round light. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick174
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson at No. 174 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick175
Rnd5
Trevor Etienne
The board fumbled Trevor Etienne all the way to slot 175, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
A tidy little value on Jack Nelson in Round 6, Pick 11, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Jay Higgins worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
The board had Luke Lachey higher than No. 218, and the tight end fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd7
Kobe Hudson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kobe Hudson in pick 220. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225
Rnd7
Robert Longerbeam
Nothing to complain about; Robert Longerbeam went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230
Rnd7
Ricky White III
Ricky White III in the 230th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239
Rnd7
Akili Arnold
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Akili Arnold at the 239th overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick242
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jeremy Crawshaw
They liked Jeremy Crawshaw enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 247. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
