Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 224th overall pick on Isaac Guerendo, a name most had 51 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Tyler Guyton at pick No. 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
Graham Barton at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 71
A quiet steal in pick 87: Junior Colson for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson at No. 101 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 73
Johnny Wilson in the 103rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 110
No edge and no loss on Ray Davis in slot 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 128
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 129
Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 139
They paid sticker price for Cam Hart in slot 137, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 187
A conviction pick on Jordan Jefferson at No. 173 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 212
No drama and no debate, De'Corian Clark went about where he belonged in pick No. 213. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 186
Javon Baker at the 220th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
They reached a country mile for Isaac Guerendo at pick 224, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 269
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kurtis Rourke. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
