The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D-.
They are betting Anderson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Magee falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 12 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
In the 24th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 56 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in the 87th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They let Audric Estime come to them and pounced at No. 110. The roster fit checks out.
The board had cheaper options than James Williams at Round 4, Pick 22, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Luke McCaffrey at pick 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A premium they did not need to pay, Braelon Allen a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They paid up for Joe Milton III at slot 146 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Curtis Jacobs at Round 5, Pick 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They robbed the room for Jordan Magee here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A real head-scratcher, Evan Anderson in the 245th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dwight McGlothern in pick 252. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brennan Armstrong in pick No. 253, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
