Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Future B

Some picks age like wine; Spencer Rattler at slot 67 will need to, sitting 24 spots clear of his grade. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Clark that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.6 · Pick 38 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 43
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in pick 38. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 91
They reached a country mile for Spencer Rattler at No. 67, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
By-the-book stuff, Bucky Irving at pick No. 87 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
Khyree Jackson in the 106th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at slot 124, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 156
A reach for Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 141st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 167
Layden Robinson in pick No. 144 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 166
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 38 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 207
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gabe Hall in pick 184, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 200
The board had De'Corian Clark higher than No. 212, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
They jumped the gun on Nathaniel Watson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Mark Perry · S · rank 244
They took Mark Perry at par in the 245th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
