Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent No. 242 on Dwight McGlothern, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.9 · Pick 9 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
In the 9th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 56 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 104
Michael Pratt in slot 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 129
They took Javon Foster at par in pick No. 125, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
They reached a country mile for Braelon Allen at pick No. 133, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 158
Keith Randolph Jr. at No. 158 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 187
Jordan Jefferson at pick 172 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 196
Josh Proctor at slot 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 212
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for De'Corian Clark. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 229
They liked Ryan Watts enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 280
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at the 242nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
