Larceny in Round 7, Pick 1 lands the Cowboys a C+, West and all. The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: CJ West, the No. 188 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Hampton left real value on the table behind him.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Hit on Omarion Hampton and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In the 20th pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 49 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at slot 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick 119 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the 149th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
No edge and no loss on Chase Lundt in No. 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217
Rnd7
CJ West
They barely believed it either: CJ West still on the board at pick No. 217. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Robert Longerbeam
A tidy bit of business in the 239th overall pick, where Robert Longerbeam graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Dante Trader Jr.
Fair-plus on Dante Trader Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
