The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Getting McCord where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If Membou pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 33
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 16
Tyler Warren in pick 35 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 20
Nick Emmanwori at the 44th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 50
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at the 66th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Maxwell Hairston · CB · rank 74
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 67, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at Round 3, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 119
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to pick 170, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 130
Cody Simon at the 172nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 176
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 174 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 207
A reach on Hayden Conner in Round 6, Pick 12; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Cam Jackson · DT · rank 220
The board had cheaper options than Cam Jackson at pick No. 211, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Isaac TeSlaa · WR · rank 229
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaac TeSlaa in the 249th overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
