Somebody in slot 244 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Johnny Dixon, the No. 200 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Eichenberg reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 31
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 32
Adonai Mitchell at the 56th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 57
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zach Frazier in slot 63. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 78
Blake Corum in the 97th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 146
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 115 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 170
Good price on Braiden McGregor in pick No. 174, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 215
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 41. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 221
Dillon Johnson at No. 224 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 204
M.J. Devonshire in slot 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 200
They robbed the room for Johnny Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
