Train DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Simeon Barrow Jr. at the 171st overall pick, roughly 52 spots before his name belonged.
That Collins pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
They did well to land Tyleik Williams in the 44th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
Nick Nash
No drama and no debate, Nick Nash went about where he belonged in slot 149. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Simeon Barrow Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Simeon Barrow Jr. in No. 171, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
No edge and no loss on Willie Lampkin in pick 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 6, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the 211th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
They paid up for Kitan Crawford at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw in pick 247 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
