There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Trey Moore a full 103 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
That Nelson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 14 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot.
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Quinshon Judkins at slot 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Jack Nelson at Round 5, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They liked JJ Pegues enough to skip the value, taking him in the 170th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nazir Stackhouse well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Moore this early at the Round 6 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Cam Horsley at slot 211 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the 249th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
