The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 216th overall pick on Zion Logue a full 70 spots early. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
By-the-book stuff, Adonai Mitchell at Round 1, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 28
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Guyton at No. 56 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the 89th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
Trey Benson in pick No. 90 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 127
A conviction pick on Beaux Limmer at pick 114 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 126
Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
The board had cheaper options than Tommy Eichenberg at the 134th pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 167
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 286
They reached into another round for Zion Logue, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
No edge and no loss on Trevin Wallace in pick 233; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
