Future B-

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 135th overall pick on Anthony Belton, a name most had 127 spots down the list.

Winston Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 27
In pick 24 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 25
They robbed the room for Isaiah Bond here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 21
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at pick No. 55. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 20
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the 79th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 77
Deone Walker at the 100th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.34 · Pick 135 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 262
They reached a country mile for Anthony Belton at No. 135, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.12 · Pick 150 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 92
Taking Danny Stutsman in Round 5, Pick 12 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · Ar'maj Reed-Adams · OG · rank 207
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 169th overall pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Jordan Burch · DE · rank 115
Jordan Burch in No. 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 97
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the 171st pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 151
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in slot 190, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.7 · Pick 221 · Jamon Dumas-Johnson · LB · rank 204
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
