Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dwight McGlothern got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 233rd pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Wallace pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 56 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevin Wallace this early at the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Value with a capital V on Rasheen Ali in the 216th overall pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 13, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A slide stopped in slot 244, with Eric Watts worth more than the price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
