FutureB-
The Cowboys let Monangai fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Kyle Monangai, the No. 212 name on the board, sitting there at the 247th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.
The Etienne pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Justin Strnad gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 20th overall pick they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 45 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 51 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Trevor Etienne
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevor Etienne. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
They paid sticker price for O'Donnell Fortune in the 149th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 171 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at pick No. 174. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kyle Williams in slot 204, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson slid further than he should have, and the 208th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 6 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in No. 239 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
The board fumbled Kyle Monangai all the way to the 247th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
