Dallas Cowboys

The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Logan Fano at the 180th overall pick, roughly 77 spots before his name belonged. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Golday that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Mansoor Delane · CB · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
In pick 30 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Blake Miller · OT · rank 45
A reach on Blake Miller in slot 35; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Jake Golday · OLB · rank 59
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to the 91st pick, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Zakee Wheatley · S · rank 85
Fair-plus on Zakee Wheatley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Ja'Kobi Lane · WR · rank 98
Ja'Kobi Lane slipping to pick No. 112 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.7 · Pick 147 · Trey Moore · LB-EDGE · rank 180
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Moore this early at pick 147. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 155
By-the-book stuff, Zxavian Harris at pick No. 152 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.37 · Pick 177 · Le'Veon Moss · RB · rank 208
Le'Veon Moss at slot 177 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.40 · Pick 180 · Logan Fano · DE-EDGE · rank 257
A wild overpay on Logan Fano in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.2 · Pick 218 · Miles Kitselman · TE · rank 225
No drama and no debate, Miles Kitselman went about where he belonged in the 218th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
