The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Evan Anderson at the 233rd pick regardless, 49 picks early.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Eboigbe pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Coleman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In the 32nd overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
Amarius Mims slipping to No. 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 43
Keon Coleman in the 56th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Payton Wilson for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 81
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 87, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at pick 95, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 132
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mohamed Kamara. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Justin Eboigbe in pick 130 leaves quarterback and tight end for later.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 189
The board had cheaper options than Daijun Edwards at the 174th overall pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 213
Fair-plus on Nathaniel Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Evan Anderson · DL · rank 282
This one needs a full-page explanation: Evan Anderson in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 286
Zion Logue at pick No. 244 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
