Somebody in pick 216 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Dylan Laube, the No. 171 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Taliese Fuaga at slot 56 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
The board had Jeremiah Trotter Jr. higher than the Round 3 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, McKinnley Jackson at pick 174. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Dylan Laube in the 216th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
By-the-book stuff, Dylan McMahon at No. 233 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Fair-plus on Tarheeb Still, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
