B
Dallas Cowboys
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B.
by BoilerMacR ·
2024 NFL Draft
· 7 picks
· 2 steals
· 3 reaches
This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan Morgan, the No. 34 name on the board, stolen at the 56th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The cost of the McMahon reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Morgan at the 56th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Curtis Jacobs at the 174th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan McMahon well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Bub Means in pick No. 233 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
No drama and no debate, Carson Steele went about where he belonged in pick 244. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
