F

Dallas Cowboys

Conviction outran the board for the Cowboys, and it cost them: F.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent slot 245 on Jeremy Moussa, a name most had 145 spots down the list. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. That Gore Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 40
They took T.J. Tampa at par in slot 35, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 41
Tyler Guyton at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
A reach for Edgerrin Cooper in No. 47; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 49
A tidy little value on Calen Bullock in pick No. 56, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at pick 65, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 74
They paid sticker price for Blake Corum in the 70th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
Nothing to complain about; Christian Mahogany went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 119
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 114
Ainias Smith at Round 4, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 121
Jarrian Jones at the 124th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 166
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Frank Gore Jr. graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Hayden Hatten · WR · rank 301
Hayden Hatten in No. 209 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 265
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at pick 212, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.40 · Pick 215 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 266
Cody Simon in Round 6, Pick 40 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jeremy Moussa · QB · rank 390
A real head-scratcher, Jeremy Moussa in pick No. 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
