There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Trevor Etienne a full 42 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trade work was a quiet net positive. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.20 · Pick 52 · Trevor Etienne · RB · rank 94
Trevor Etienne in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Rod Moore · S · rank 72
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rod Moore. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Jacobee Bryant · CB · rank 90
A tidy little value on Jacobee Bryant in the 94th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.18 · Pick 114 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 134
Donovan Edwards at Round 4, Pick 18 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.30 · Pick 126 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 133
Tonka Hemingway in the 126th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.1 · Pick 129 · Alfred Collins · DL · rank 148
They reached into another round for Alfred Collins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.29 · Pick 157 · Jaishawn Barham · LB · rank 173
A reach for Jaishawn Barham in the 157th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.30 · Pick 158 · Xavian Sorey Jr. · LB · rank 176
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavian Sorey Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.20 · Pick 180 · Jaheim Oatis · DL · rank 198
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaheim Oatis in pick 180, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.30 · Pick 190 · Tony Grimes · DB · rank 193
They took Tony Grimes at par in the 190th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
R7.20 · Pick 212 · Jalen Catalon · S · rank 213
No edge and no loss on Jalen Catalon in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
