Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

That Worthy pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The D'Angelo Ross deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In pick 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 52
Nothing to complain about; Kiran Amegadjie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 42
Taking Xavier Worthy in No. 87 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
Tykee Smith at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 115
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyrice Knight in the 124th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · DJ James · CB · rank 113
DJ James at slot 127 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 153
A linebacker of that caliber at the 174th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 171
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Marcus Harris · DE-EDGE · rank 237
They let Marcus Harris come to them and pounced at pick No. 245. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
