The Cowboys did not so much draft Jimmy Horn Jr. as overpay for him, 120 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Getting Stutsman where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Omarion Hampton at pick No. 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the 76th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
TreVeyon Henderson in the 80th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
They will replay Barrett Carter at slot 148 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Malachi Moore at pick 150 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They reached a country mile for Cobee Bryant at No. 168, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Jake Majors in pick No. 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Ty Hamilton in Round 6, Pick 11 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 188th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Value with a capital V on Luke Lachey in slot 209, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in pick 248, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
