The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Eguakun reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Landing Guyton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
Tyler Guyton at slot 56 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They went early on Sincere Haynesworth in pick No. 146, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Layden Robinson in Round 5, Pick 13, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Schrader at pick 173, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Value said wait; Michael Wiley in the 174th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A quiet steal in No. 201: Ethan Driskell for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They reached into another round for Kingsley Eguakun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
