Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Nathan Thomas. He came off 31 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

On value alone, Carson makes the weekend a net positive. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 30
Graham Barton at No. 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the 56th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 96
Audric Estime at slot 87 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 67
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 90 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 123
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 171
Nathan Thomas at the 140th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 195
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for De'Corian Clark. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 193
Jordan Magee in slot 188 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Jontrey Hunter · S · rank 213
No edge and no loss on Jontrey Hunter in pick No. 212; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Demani Richardson · S · rank 238
Demani Richardson in Round 7, Pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
