FutureA-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: A-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Kaimon Rucker at pick 119 is 35 spots clear of where he belonged. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Reed pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
In the end it comes back to Luther Burden III, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In No. 31 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in the 44th overall pick, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick49
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Benjamin Morrison in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 95 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A tidy little value on Darius Alexander in the 97th pick, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at slot 119 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
A straight-up fair deal on Mitchell Evans at the 149th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick 174 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204
Rnd6
Connor Colby
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 204 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
A real head-scratcher, Fadil Diggs in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick211
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like JJ Pegues reach No. 211 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jaylen Reed
Taking Jaylen Reed in Round 7, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the 239th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
John Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for John Williams. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
