Dallas Cowboys

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Nobody else had Akheem Mesidor anywhere near the 247th overall pick. The Cowboys did, by 92 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Winston Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In pick No. 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 57
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 76th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 188
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nazir Stackhouse. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 117
Chris Paul Jr. at Round 5, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 93
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 170th pick, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 198
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 215
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in Round 6, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 195
Jordan Hancock slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the safety. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Akheem Mesidor · DL-EDGE · rank 339
They left a pile of value on the table to take Akheem Mesidor this early at the 247th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
