Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Thor Griffith at slot 154, roughly 37 spots before his name belonged. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Monheim.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 22
In the 24th overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Princely Umanmielen · DE-EDGE · rank 23
The board had Princely Umanmielen higher than pick No. 33, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Evan Stewart · WR · rank 53
Evan Stewart in slot 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 66
A reach on Quincy Riley in Round 2, Pick 26; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 69
They liked Tre Harris enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 103
They jumped the gun on Jay Higgins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 89
A straight-up fair deal on Clay Webb at pick 90, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.26 · Pick 122 · Jaydn Ott · RB · rank 150
A big swing on Jaydn Ott at slot 122, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.27 · Pick 123 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 132
A conviction pick on Tonka Hemingway at the 123rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.26 · Pick 154 · Thor Griffith · DT · rank 191
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the 154th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.3 · Pick 163 · Jonah Monheim · OT · rank 140
Jonah Monheim in pick No. 163 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.26 · Pick 186 · Brady Cook · QB · rank 211
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brady Cook in Round 6, Pick 26, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
