FutureA+
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: D+. 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.
Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Pearl falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
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 Round 1, Pick 6 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick26
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 26th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A reach for T'Vondre Sweat in slot 37; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
A tidy little value on Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Fair-plus on Edgerrin Cooper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87
Rnd3
Malik Washington
They took Malik Washington at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in No. 89, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at pick No. 100, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarrian Jones in No. 139. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Thomas this early at the 140th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They went early on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ryan Flournoy in pick 216. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in pick No. 233 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244
Rnd7
Solomon Byrd
The board had cheaper options than Solomon Byrd at the 244th overall pick, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
