Dallas Cowboys

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Xavier Thomas. He came off 34 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 33
Quinyon Mitchell at the 35th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 53
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in pick 65. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 89
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in slot 87, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · James Williams · S · rank 130
They paid sticker price for James Williams in No. 124, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Ainias Smith · WR · rank 114
Ainias Smith at pick 136 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 170
They reached into another round for Roger Rosengarten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 204
Myles Jones at the 174th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 246
Xavier Thomas in slot 212 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 265
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
