D+

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

Some picks age like wine; Kedon Slovis at slot 233 will need to, sitting 72 spots clear of his grade. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 32
In No. 30 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
Patrick Paul at slot 45 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
A reasonable price with a little left over, Junior Colson in the 56th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
They took Jaylen Wright at par in pick 68, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 92
Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 99
No drama and no debate, Jalen McMillan went about where he belonged in pick No. 92. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
A reach for Braelon Allen in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 100
A clean, defensible pick in the 103rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Cam Hart. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Christian Jones in pick 130 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Jaylan Ford in Round 5, Pick 38 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 286
Zion Logue at the 216th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Kedon Slovis · QB · rank 305
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kedon Slovis this early at No. 233. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
