Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Hart steal is the beam this whole class leans on. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
In the 27th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 52
A tidy little value on Kiran Amegadjie in pick 56, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 68
Good price on Payton Wilson in the 71st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 83
Braden Fiske at slot 87 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 70
You do not let a running back like Trey Benson reach Round 3, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 124 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 122
Sataoa Laumea at pick 126 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · James Williams · S · rank 134
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 33. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
Taking Cam Hart in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 184
Isaiah Davis in slot 188 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 202
Nice patience on Jordan Magee, who had no business lasting to the 212th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in the 245th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
