The Cowboys let Riley fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Quincy Riley fell into Round 7, Pick 31.

If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Mykel Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 16
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mykel Williams. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 47
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in Round 2, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 94
A big swing on Dylan Fairchild at slot 76, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 112
Tory Horton at the 150th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 137
Jay Higgins at the 170th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Simeon Barrow Jr. · DL · rank 180
They paid a round early for Simeon Barrow Jr. in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 175
Ollie Gordon II in pick 174 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 243
Value said wait; Miles Frazier in pick No. 190 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Ricky White III · WR · rank 206
Ricky White III in slot 211 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 182
You do not let a cornerback like Quincy Riley reach the 249th pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
