Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Zion Logue. He came off 53 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 43
No drama and no debate, Keon Coleman went about where he belonged in pick No. 36. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
Nothing to complain about; T.J. Tampa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
Kiran Amegadjie slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 72
Value with a capital V on Sedrick Van Pran in No. 87, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 103
A straight-up fair deal on Audric Estime at the 100th pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 201
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kendall Milton. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
A quiet steal in slot 216: Jaylan Ford for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 286
Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 13 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 256
Tyrice Knight in No. 244 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
