Call it larceny. Andru Phillips sat on the board until pick No. 213, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Saquon Barkley by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in pick 87, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They let Dadrion Taylor-Demerson come to them and pounced at No. 173. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Andru Phillips in slot 213 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Michael Wiley at the 231st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Circle this one: Omar Speights at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
