2025 NFL Draft
· 12 picks
· 4 steals
· 6 reaches
There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Donovan Edwards a full 54 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. On value alone, Ward makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
Circle this one: Cameron Ward at No. 84 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Donovan Edwards in pick 86 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Shilo Sanders at pick No. 94. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
The board had Denver Harris higher than Round 4, Pick 30, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A reach for Alfred Collins in the 139th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They reached a country mile for T.J. Sanders at slot 141, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A wild overpay on Gabe Jacas in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
A premium they did not need to pay, Sean Martin a notch or two before his time. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Fentrell Cypress II at pick 190 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A quiet steal in slot 205: Justin Walley for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Keaten Wade at No. 212 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
A tidy little value on Shawn Murphy in pick No. 222, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
