Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Conner Weigman, the No. 99 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 169th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
They will need Collins to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 14 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
No drama and no debate, Dylan Sampson went about where he belonged in the 53rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Kalel Mullings at No. 76 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Rylie Mills at pick No. 84 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 112 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Fair-plus on Barion Brown, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Conner Weigman at Round 5, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Oscar Delp at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Tyler Baron at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, T.J. Sanders well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Alfred Collins this early at the 208th pick. It fills a real need, too.
