The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Alfred Collins went at pick No. 153, a good 120 picks before the board was ready.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 40
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a load in the middle, even if it was a touch early.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 52
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Abdul Carter in the 63rd overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 67
Good price on TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 97
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 78 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 92
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.26 · Pick 90 · Tacario Davis · CB · rank 103
Tacario Davis in slot 90 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 105
They let Elic Ayomanor come to them and pounced at pick 117. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.15 · Pick 153 · Alfred Collins · DL · rank 273
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alfred Collins well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · Nick Martin · LB · rank 181
Nick Martin at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Riley Leonard · QB · rank 112
Steal is underselling it; Riley Leonard at No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 244
Anthony Belton at slot 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Kyren Lacy · WR · rank 219
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyren Lacy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 197
Value with a capital V on Luke Lachey in the 208th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
