You build a draft on nights like this. Ryan Flournoy had no business being available in No. 244, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 56 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 87th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 174 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kendall Milton at Round 6, Pick 41. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
