McCarthy is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a F.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 3 slot regardless, 58 picks early. A F, plain and simple.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 29
In the 3rd pick they get a franchise quarterback, a steep price for the projection.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
They paid up for Jordan Morgan at pick 24 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 48
A reach for Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
They jumped the gun on T'Vondre Sweat, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tommy Eichenberg. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
