You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D-.

Landing Pierce that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Jennings proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In No. 13 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 19
Kenneth Grant is a better player than Round 2, Pick 3 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 54
A running back of that caliber at the 76th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 55
They will replay Isaiah Bond at slot 77 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 142
Kurtis Rourke at pick No. 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 117
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 154
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Logan Brown in Round 5, Pick 35, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Pat Bryant · WR · rank 144
Taking Pat Bryant in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 183
Jaylen Reed in the 211th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Kevin Jennings · QB · rank 257
Kevin Jennings at No. 249 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
