Dallas Cowboys

Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Stutsman: D.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Danny Stutsman tumbling to the Cowboys in pick 148 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will need Cornelius to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In slot 12 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 27
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 4: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 16
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 44 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 43
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the 65th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 53
They let Tyleik Williams come to them and pounced at No. 70. It fills a real need, too.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 104
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ajani Cornelius in the 76th overall pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 60
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in pick 104, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 69
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 105th pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.33 · Pick 134 · Savion Williams · WR · rank 109
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at Round 4, Pick 33. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 85
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach No. 148 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 173
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 168 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
