FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. The Cowboys spent real capital to be 45 picks early on Le'Veon Moss, and the board is going to hold them to it.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Jacas pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end.
Landing Manning that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Christen Miller
Christen Miller in pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick29
Rnd1
Caleb Banks
In the 29th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick32
Rnd1
Dontay Corleone
In No. 32 they get a wrecking ball inside, though they paid up to get him.
Pick40
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
No drama and no debate, Anthony Hill Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 40. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56
Rnd2
Arch Manning
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Arch Manning in Round 2, Pick 24. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61
Rnd2
Connor Lew
Connor Lew at pick No. 61 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in pick 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the 88th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Gabe Jacas
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent pick No. 93 on Gabe Jacas, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick101
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
They paid sticker price for Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 101, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Domani Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 125th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
They talked themselves into Le'Veon Moss at No. 142, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160
Rnd5
Evan Stewart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Stewart. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
