Somebody in pick 244 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Whittington pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 24 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot.
T'Vondre Sweat slipping to pick No. 56 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in No. 87. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at Round 5, Pick 38, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Steele Chambers in the 216th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They liked Jordan Whittington enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They robbed the room for Dwight McGlothern here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
