Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Willie Lampkin at pick No. 149 is 29 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Hill where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in slot 52, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A tidy little value on Darius Alexander in the 98th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in Round 4, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Willie Lampkin well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
A reach for Chase Lundt in Round 5, Pick 17; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill slid further than he should have, and pick No. 171 is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson in pick 174 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ricky White III
The board had cheaper options than Ricky White III at the 211th pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A big swing on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 224, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
They liked Ty Hamilton enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247
Rnd7
Logan Parr
They reached into another round for Logan Parr, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
