Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

Nobody else had Curtis Jacobs anywhere near No. 129. The Cowboys did, by 50 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R3.24 · Pick 87 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
They paid up for Zak Zinter at the 87th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 126
They took Isaiah Adams at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 156
Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 179
Curtis Jacobs in pick 129 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
They barely believed it either: Jarrian Jones still on the board at Round 5, Pick 19. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 221
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sheridan Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 250
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in Round 6, Pick 37, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 255
They reached a country mile for Xavier Thomas at pick 217, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Donell Harris Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 264
They talked themselves into Donell Harris Jr. at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Dylan McMahon · C · rank 243
They liked Dylan McMahon enough to skip the value, taking him in the 230th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.17 · Pick 237 · Maurice Smith · C · rank 245
The board had cheaper options than Maurice Smith at slot 237, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jeremy James · OT · rank 253
Jeremy James at No. 245 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
