FutureA
The Cowboys bet the future on Daniels. The board says D. The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Wright reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Beebe falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
The board had Cooper Beebe higher than No. 87, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
DJ James
DJ James in the 104th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 144th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
A straight-up fair deal on Jase McClellan at pick 212, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
A reach on Nathaniel Watson in slot 228; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
