Dallas Cowboys

Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Devin Neal got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at pick 168. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

They are betting Mesidor proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Germaine Pratt gives the group a proven body among the projects.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In No. 17 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 54
They did well to land Tyleik Williams in pick No. 57, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 115
Kyle McCord in the 76th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 75
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jayden Higgins in slot 81. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 62
Alfred Collins in pick No. 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.25 · Pick 126 · Azareye'h Thomas · CB · rank 102
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 4, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
Danny Stutsman in No. 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 83
Devin Neal at pick 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 162
Jaeden Roberts at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.34 · Pick 171 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 106
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at the 171st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Billy Bowman Jr. · S · rank 112
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Xavier Truss · OT · rank 270
They talked themselves into Xavier Truss at the 209th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Elijah Arroyo · TE · rank 187
Elijah Arroyo in No. 213 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Akheem Mesidor · DL-EDGE · rank 333
A real head-scratcher, Akheem Mesidor in the 247th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
