Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys found their guy under center in Daniels: D.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Zion Logue, taking him 53 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

The Odunze value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In the 11th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In slot 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 63
Bralen Trice at pick No. 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
A reach on Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
They went early on Braelon Allen in pick 96, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 126
A real head-scratcher, Beaux Limmer in slot 108 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
By-the-book stuff, Matt Goncalves at the 116th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.17 · Pick 153 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III in pick No. 153 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylan Ford this early at Round 5, Pick 38. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
The board had cheaper options than Trevin Wallace at No. 216, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 286
Zion Logue at pick 233 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
