Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys let Bowers fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Brock Bowers slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the 87th pick. Highway robbery.

They will need Jeffcoat to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 32 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
Xavier Worthy at No. 69 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 5
Somehow Brock Bowers was still sitting there in slot 87, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
Nice patience on Blake Corum, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 32. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 239
Andrew Raym in the 216th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 210
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caedan Wallace in pick 225. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 265
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at pick No. 233, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 244 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Trajan Jeffcoat · DL-EDGE · rank 307
A wild overpay on Trajan Jeffcoat in Round 7, Pick 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
