Nobody had Zion Logue this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 70 spots to get him at slot 216. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

That Mims pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
A slide stopped in No. 35, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 70
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devontez Walker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson in the 87th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in the 96th overall pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
No edge and no loss on Matt Goncalves in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 126
They went early on Beaux Limmer in No. 116, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.9 · Pick 145 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
Tommy Eichenberg in the 145th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 11, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Jaylan Ford at slot 174 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
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.
