The Cowboys torched the value chart for Baylor Cupp, taking him 133 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
They paid a round early for Tyler Guyton in the 31st pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the 56th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 90
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 73 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson at slot 87 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
A conviction pick on Max Melton at pick 98 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 207
A big swing on Gabe Hall at the 173rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 210
Nothing to complain about; Kenny Logan Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Baylor Cupp · TE · rank 375
Baylor Cupp in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
