Dallas Cowboys

Parrish should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B+.

Future B-

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jacob Parrish got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 32. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They are betting Biggers proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In slot 15 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot.
R1.16 · Pick 16 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 9
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Demetrius Knight Jr. · LB · rank 58
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.27 · Pick 129 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 114
Luke Kandra slid further than he should have, and the 129th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.20 · Pick 158 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 142
A quiet steal in No. 158: Nick Nash for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Jacob Parrish · CB · rank 124
Taking Jacob Parrish in pick No. 170 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Chase Lundt · OT · rank 161
They let Chase Lundt come to them and pounced at pick 171. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.38 · Pick 176 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 176
JJ Pegues at the 176th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.12 · Pick 188 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 181
Nothing to complain about; Oronde Gadsden II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.13 · Pick 189 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 192
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in Round 6, Pick 13, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R6.33 · Pick 209 · Simeon Barrow Jr. · DL · rank 205
Simeon Barrow Jr. at slot 209 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · Zeek Biggers · DT · rank 232
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zeek Biggers. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Trevor Etienne · RB · rank 220
Trevor Etienne in the 247th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
