Call it larceny. Ozzy Trapilo sat on the board until pick No. 171, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Every board in the league had Sorrell lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
No edge and no loss on Tre Harris in No. 44; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in the 76th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jacob Parrish in pick 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 5, Pick 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They will replay Kyle McCord at pick No. 174 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to the 204th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Hayden Conner at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jahvaree Ritzie in No. 239, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Barryn Sorrell in the 247th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
