Dallas Cowboys

Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B.

Future B-

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Tyler Shough, taking him 182 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Neal at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In pick 14 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 134
Rylie Mills at the 76th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 69
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 16. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.29 · Pick 93 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 117
They reached a country mile for Jack Nelson at pick No. 93, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 116
Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Howard Cross III · DL · rank 152
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Howard Cross III. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 179
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at slot 138. The roster fit checks out.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Addison West · OG · rank 186
Value said wait; Addison West in the 148th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.13 · Pick 150 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 113
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in pick 150, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 274
Thor Griffith at Round 5, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 174
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in the 170th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Michael Taaffe · S · rank 149
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in No. 178, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 83
Devin Neal in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Joey Slackman · DL · rank 279
A wild overpay on Joey Slackman in pick No. 209, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.24 · Pick 240 · Tyler Shough · QB · rank 422
They reached into another round for Tyler Shough, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
