Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Denver Harris. He came off 43 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
On value alone, Sabb makes the weekend a net positive. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
De'Von Achane gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 13 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Emeka Egbuka in No. 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
The board fumbled DJ Campbell all the way to the 77th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach the 113th pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They robbed the room for Rylie Mills here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They will replay Keon Sabb at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They liked Gunnar Helm enough to skip the value, taking him in the 170th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Circle this one: Bear Alexander at Round 5, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Le'Veon Moss at slot 188 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Howard in pick 209, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Mbow well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Denver Harris in No. 234 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Monheim at the 251st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
