Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tyler Shough got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at slot 210.
The Frazier pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 14 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A running back of that caliber at slot 76 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Dylan Sampson slid further than he should have, and No. 80 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Somehow Ajani Cornelius was still sitting there in the 150th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
You do not let a quarterback like Riley Leonard reach pick No. 152 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Taking Lander Barton in Round 5, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Ollie Gordon II in the 172nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pat Bryant in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Fair-plus on JJ Pegues, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Logan Brown at No. 193 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Tyler Shough in the 210th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A big swing on Miles Frazier at pick No. 211, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A tidy little value on John Williams in pick 249, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
