Dallas Cowboys
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Smael Mondon Jr., 37 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Robinson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 32 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that.
Tyler Guyton at the 62nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Smael Mondon Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A reach on Devontez Walker in No. 95; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
