Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Raheim Sanders got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at slot 248.
They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Webb pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 12th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach pick No. 44 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at No. 168 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at slot 173 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Oronde Gadsden II at the 186th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They liked Clay Webb enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 209. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Raheim Sanders at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
