Playing the value: Carlos Basham at 44 or Cameron Sample at 138 for the Cowboys in the 2021 draft Which pick holds more value for the Cowboys? Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images One the greatest things about the NFL Draft is how much value comes into play. Whether it’s positional value or round value, winning the NFL Draft all comes from getting value in your selections.
