Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for DeMonte Capehart. He came off 54 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while wide receiver and tight end went begging.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
They took Dallas Turner at par in the 15th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 38
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Chop Robinson adds an edge rusher and leaves wide receiver and tight end untouched.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 52
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 46th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 53
Good price on Kiran Amegadjie in slot 56, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
Trey Benson at pick No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
A slide stopped in No. 87, with Payton Wilson worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 118
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 124 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 220
Taulia Tagovailoa in the 174th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 266
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at No. 212. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 249
Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
