You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Zion Logue at the 233rd overall pick, roughly 57 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Gore Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 33
In slot 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at the 56th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
They jumped the gun on Trey Benson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 144
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 143
A conviction pick on Nelson Ceaser at pick 134 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in the 163rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 175
Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 197
Curtis Jacobs at No. 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 290
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at slot 233, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 244 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
