Dallas Cowboys

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Tommy Eichenberg, 36 picks ahead of schedule.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Melton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
In No. 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 96
They paid a round early for Audric Estime in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 125
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Eichenberg in slot 89, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 123
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 101 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
A tidy bit of business in pick 124, where Max Melton graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 170
No drama and no debate, Roger Rosengarten went about where he belonged in the 168th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 175
Curtis Jacobs in slot 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 207
A big swing on Sam Hartman at the 180th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 226
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 212. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 249
They paid sticker price for Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 245, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
