Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Cowboys came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The cost of the Capehart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Odunze. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
In the 29th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 70
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in the 60th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
They took Johnny Wilson at par in Round 3, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 106
Matt Goncalves at pick 87 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in slot 99, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 124 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 177
Jaylan Ford in No. 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Phil Jurkovec · QB · rank 236
This one needs a full-page explanation: Phil Jurkovec in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 259
They went early on Carson Steele in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.29 · Pick 249 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 275
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in pick 249 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 256
Myles Cole at slot 250 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
