Somewhere a general manager is explaining how TreVeyon Henderson got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 150th pick.

The Crenshaw-Dickson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 15
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at pick 44. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach the 76th pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 57
Elic Ayomanor at Round 3, Pick 22 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.22 · Pick 123 · Joshua Farmer · DT · rank 118
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joshua Farmer in the 123rd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 87
Carson Schwesinger at slot 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.13 · Pick 150 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in No. 150 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in pick No. 168, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson · OT · rank 264
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 170, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 186
They went early on JJ Pegues in No. 173, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 185
They took Cobee Bryant at par in the 186th pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 136
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 187
Jaylen Reed in pick 209 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Elijhah Badger · WR · rank 280
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijhah Badger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.37 · Pick 253 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 258
Shilo Sanders in pick No. 253 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
