The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Trevor Keegan slide 100 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Allen reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.10 · Pick 42 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
They took Cooper Beebe at par in slot 42, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 60
Malachi Corley at the 56th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
They jumped the gun on Patrick Paul, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at Round 3, Pick 24. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in the 123rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 94
Caelen Carson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 184
They paid a round early for Fabien Lovett in pick No. 174, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 213
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in No. 216, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
Anthony Gould in Round 7, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 144
They barely believed it either: Trevor Keegan still on the board at No. 244. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
