Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Byron Murphy II got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at No. 87. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The cost of the Davis reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
The board fumbled Nate Wiggins all the way to pick 56, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Steal is underselling it; Byron Murphy II at Round 3, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Justin Eboigbe in slot 124 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
The board had cheaper options than Isaiah Davis at pick No. 174, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
