The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Joe Milton III, taking him 113 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Amegadjie. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 12 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Payton Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They reached into another round for Blake Corum, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 12. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Joe Milton III in the 87th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Blake Fisher at pick 121 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
