FutureA-
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a D to match. The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Franklin. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 6th pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 31 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick56
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
Nice patience on Devontez Walker, who had no business lasting to pick 56. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slid further than he should have, and No. 87 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
They let Marist Liufau come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 31. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
A tidy little value on Bucky Irving in pick No. 99, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in the 124th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They did well to land Joe Milton III in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at pick 174 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in No. 212 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in the 245th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ja'Had Carter
No edge and no loss on Ja'Had Carter in slot 249; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
