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
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that.
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at pick 44. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
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.
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.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joshua Farmer in the 123rd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They went early on JJ Pegues in No. 173, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
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.
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.
Jaylen Reed in pick 209 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
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.
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.
