FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Ty Thompson at the 204th pick regardless, 84 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Landing Neal that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In slot 20 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
A quiet steal in the Round 1 slot: Arvell Reese for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at the 60th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick70
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Derrick Moore this early at No. 70. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91
Rnd3
Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at pick No. 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Julian Neal in Round 3, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in Round 4, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
They liked Keylan Rutledge enough to skip the value, taking him in the 112th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jakobe Thomas
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Jakobe Thomas, a safety they were not short of.
Pick150
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at slot 150 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177
Rnd5
Raylen Wilson
A conviction pick on Raylen Wilson at pick No. 177 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194
Rnd6
Antonio Kite
A reasonable price with a little left over, Antonio Kite in pick 194. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204
Rnd6
Ty Thompson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Thompson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jordan Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Hall. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221
Rnd7
Ahmaad Moses
Ahmaad Moses at pick 221 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Riley Mahlman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228
Rnd7
London Humphreys
No drama and no debate, London Humphreys went about where he belonged in pick No. 228. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
