You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Kedon Slovis in No. 221.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 27
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 28
Tyler Guyton at slot 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
Junior Colson in pick 38 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
Xavier Worthy at the 60th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
A premium they did not need to pay, Braelon Allen a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Christian Jones in Round 4, Pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
They talked themselves into Dwight McGlothern at No. 138, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 126
Johnny Wilson in the 144th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylan Ford in pick No. 174, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 286
Zion Logue at the 216th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Kedon Slovis · QB · rank 305
Kedon Slovis in pick 221 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
