FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D. The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Taylen Green, 105 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Put together, it is a D.
That Burch pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Cowboys indulged a want in Sawyer while a need in offensive lineman stayed open.
A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Mike Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Green at the 42nd pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick 44 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Jack Sawyer in the 50th overall pick leaves offensive lineman for later.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at No. 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A premium they did not need to pay, Darien Porter a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 72nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 74 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in slot 76, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A surprising call. With offensive lineman still to address, they spent No. 92 on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tyler Baron at edge rusher with offensive lineman open.
Pick169
Rnd5
Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in pick 169, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at Round 5, Pick 32. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 171 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jordan Burch
Circle this one: Jordan Burch at pick No. 188 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Somehow Raheim Sanders was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
