Future B

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Barryn Sorrell, 103 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Mickens pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 9
A tidy little value on Tetairoa McMillan in the Round 1 slot, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 32
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the 54th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 83
Carson Schwesinger at Round 3, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 64
The board fumbled Deone Walker all the way to slot 87, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 98
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 116th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 120
You do not let a quarterback like Kyle McCord reach No. 150 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.21 · Pick 160 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 180
Value said wait; Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 171
Quincy Riley in pick No. 170 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 166
Ajani Cornelius in pick 172 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 162
They read the board right and Jonah Monheim was the payoff at No. 174. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 176
A quiet steal in slot 190: JJ Pegues for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 314
A real head-scratcher, Barryn Sorrell in the 211th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · R.J. Mickens · S · rank 206
A top-tier safety at a bargain, R.J. Mickens in the 249th pick, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
