Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys let Cohen fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end and interior defensive lineman. That Cohen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Gentry pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
In No. 24 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 87
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with tight end and interior defensive lineman open.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 113, where Khyree Jackson graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 126
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Adams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · James Williams · S · rank 134
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at slot 129 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 154
Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 161 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 153
You do not let a linebacker like Ty'Ron Hopper reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 149
They barely believed it either: Javion Cohen still on the board at No. 174. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Isaiah Neyor · WR · rank 218
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Neyor at Round 6, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 251
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 247
Kurtis Rourke at pick No. 240 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Ja'Had Carter · S · rank 252
They took Ja'Had Carter at par in slot 245, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
