Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent slot 242 on Kedon Slovis, a name most had 72 spots down the list.
The Coleman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They took Xavier Worthy at par in Round 2, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Circle this one: Keon Coleman at No. 74 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Khyree Jackson at slot 87 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jaylan Ford at pick 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A reach for Frank Gore Jr. in the 213th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
No drama and no debate, Trevin Wallace went about where he belonged in the 231st overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Kedon Slovis in the 242nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
