The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 61 spots for LaJohntay Wester, and value like that does not grow back.

On value alone, Castro makes the weekend a net positive. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Shedeur Sanders · QB · rank 6
In the 2nd pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.12 · Pick 12 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 11
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 14
Tyler Warren at slot 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 41
Fair-plus on Kaleb Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 54
Isaiah Bond slid further than he should have, and pick No. 67 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 56
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at No. 76 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 67
Deone Walker in Round 4, Pick 2 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 108
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at the 150th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.13 · Pick 152 · O'Donnell Fortune · CB · rank 124
A cornerback of that caliber at the 152nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 93
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sebastian Castro in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · LaJohntay Wester · WR · rank 233
This one needs a full-page explanation: LaJohntay Wester in slot 172, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
