Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Jordan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In the 3rd overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 22
In slot 24 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 50
Fair-plus on Tyler Guyton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 78
Michael Pratt is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 92
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at pick 103. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 122
By-the-book stuff, Sataoa Laumea at No. 124 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 131
Nehemiah Pritchett slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 158
A tidy bit of business in slot 174, where Malik Washington graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 163
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at the 182nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 201
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 37. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.4 · Pick 224 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 224 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jason Henderson · LB · rank 232
The board had Jason Henderson higher than No. 245, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
