Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Cowboys to leave a draft. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They banked enough surplus on Robinson to cover a lot of smaller sins. Nugent has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Chop Robinson slid further than he should have, and pick 56 is lovely value for the edge rusher. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They let Trey Benson come to them and pounced at pick No. 80. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Drake Nugent at slot 124 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Roger Rosengarten at No. 174 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Darius Muasau in Round 6, Pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A slide stopped in the 245th pick, with Mark Perry worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
