The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cowboys were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ramsey. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Adding Azeez Al-Shaair by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 20th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
In pick No. 28 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Zion Young at the 38th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamari Ramsey at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They took Nicholas Singleton at par in pick 106, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Jalon Kilgore in No. 112 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They read the board right and Oscar Delp was the payoff at slot 141. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Beau Stephens at Round 5, Pick 12 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Cyrus Allen slipping to the 177th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
The board had Albert Regis higher than slot 180, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
