The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jaylen Wright at the Round 7 slot regardless, 61 picks early.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 39
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 74
A reach on Jonathon Brooks in the 62nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 101
Dominick Puni in pick No. 98 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 114
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at No. 109 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 120
Khyree Jackson at slot 110 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 142
They liked Jordan Travis enough to skip the value, taking him in the 130th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · James Williams · S · rank 128
James Williams at pick 131 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Theo Wease Jr. · WR · rank 173
They took Theo Wease Jr. at par in the 174th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 193
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabe Hall. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.26 · Pick 201 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 221
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryce Foster this early at the 201st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 233
Matthew Jones in slot 212 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.28 · Pick 248 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 309
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in pick No. 248, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 267
A conviction pick on DeMonte Capehart at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Storm Duck · CB · rank 285
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Storm Duck. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
