The Cowboys ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If Hicks pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 27
In slot 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 96
The board had cheaper options than Audric Estime at Round 3, Pick 24, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
Jaden Hicks at the 88th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 121
Good price on Jarrian Jones in the 124th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
