Future B-

Call it larceny. Smael Mondon Jr. sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

Reaching for Prather left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In pick 20 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
Jalon Walker at slot 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 43
Tyler Warren in pick No. 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 71
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Andrew Mukuba graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.19 · Pick 120 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 81
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach the 120th overall pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Jake Majors · C · rank 92
Jake Majors in No. 148 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 110
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the 168th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 179
They jumped the gun on Nazir Stackhouse, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 99
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.20 · Pick 195 · Samuel Brown · WR · rank 194
Samuel Brown in slot 195 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Kaden Prather · WR · rank 234
A real head-scratcher, Kaden Prather in Round 6, Pick 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 240
Shilo Sanders in pick No. 248 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
