Nobody else had Myles Hinton anywhere near the 249th overall pick. The Cowboys did, by 140 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Landing Henderson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 21
Emeka Egbuka in the 44th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Shavon Revel Jr. · CB · rank 24
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Shavon Revel Jr. in pick No. 76, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 88
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 150 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 199
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at the 170th overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 174
Dorian Strong at Round 5, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jackson Slater · OG · rank 149
They barely believed it either: Jackson Slater still on the board at Round 6, Pick 12. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Cam Jackson · DT · rank 230
Cam Jackson in the 211th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Myles Hinton · OT · rank 389
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Hinton this early at the 249th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
