FutureB-
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Daniels: D-. Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.
The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
If Reed pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 5 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In pick 23 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In slot 32 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 56th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
They took Jaylen Wright at par in No. 64, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
No edge and no loss on Jaden Hicks in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick173
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
They jumped the gun on Ty'Ron Hopper, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
A conviction pick on Fabien Lovett at the 174th pick that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
The board fumbled Jha'Quan Jackson all the way to slot 216, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
A slide stopped in No. 233, with Jaden Crumedy worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
They paid a round early for Kimani Vidal in pick 244, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Austin Reed
A big swing on Austin Reed at pick No. 252, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
