The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Edefuan Ulofoshio went at the Round 3 slot, a good 65 picks before the board was ready. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Hit on Edgerrin Cooper and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 24 they get the heartbeat of the defense, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They went early on Javon Bullard in the 56th pick, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 87 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They reached into another round for Curtis Jacobs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Josh Proctor at pick 174 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Daequan Hardy in slot 212 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They jumped the gun on Derek Wingo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
