Dallas Cowboys

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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Donell Harris Jr. in the 246th pick.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Dixon. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.28 · Pick 60 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in pick No. 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 136
A big swing on Christian Jones at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 167
Javion Cohen at the 87th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 173
Value said wait; Layden Robinson in No. 90 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 65
They robbed the room for Mike Sainristil here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 186
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.17 · Pick 153 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 196
Curtis Jacobs at Round 5, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Cedric Johnson · DE-EDGE · rank 211
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Johnson in No. 161 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 191
Steele Chambers at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
You do not let a cornerback like Elijah Jones reach pick No. 212 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 289
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in pick 213, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 181
Johnny Dixon in the 231st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 248
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in slot 242, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Donell Harris Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 388
They reached a country mile for Donell Harris Jr. at the 246th pick, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
