Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The whole projection now runs through Michael Penix Jr.; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Mitchell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Michael Penix Jr. · QB · rank 9
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
R1.21 · Pick 21 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 39
In slot 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 74
Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 62 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 89
They liked Marist Liufau enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 74. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 91
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 120
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at the 109th pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 141
They jumped the gun on Javion Cohen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.9 · Pick 145 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 155
The board had cheaper options than Darius Robinson at the 145th overall pick, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 182
A reach on Christian Jones in the 174th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 217
Jordan Magee at slot 212 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Demani Richardson · S · rank 245
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Demani Richardson. It adds depth where they could use a little.
