Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Smith: B.

Future B-

The rest of the league will want that one back. Brashard Smith tumbling to the Cowboys in slot 187 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Luther Burden III · WR · rank 19
In pick No. 17 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 54
They paid up for Tyleik Williams at pick 44 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach Round 2, Pick 17 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in No. 76, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
Jake Majors in the 118th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 92
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 148th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at slot 168 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 124
Sonny Styles at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.34 · Pick 171 · Billy Bowman Jr. · S · rank 111
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at the 171st pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 105
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Jamon Dumas-Johnson · LB · rank 195
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 209th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 214
A tight end of that caliber at No. 247 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
