FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Gabriel Rubio at No. 225 regardless, 68 picks early.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Orange. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In slot 18 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Anthony Hill Jr. reach the 49th pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Josiah Trotter
They paid sticker price for Josiah Trotter in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
They barely believed it either: Domonique Orange still on the board at pick 97. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached a country mile for Vincent Anthony Jr. at the 112th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Good price on Davison Igbinosun in pick 150, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in the 177th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Nolan Rucci
The board had cheaper options than Nolan Rucci at pick No. 194, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215
Rnd6
Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at No. 215 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221
Rnd7
Kamran James
Kamran James at the 221st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225
Rnd7
Gabriel Rubio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabriel Rubio. The roster fit checks out.
