The rest of the league had time to spare on Phillip Webb; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 134 spots ahead at No. 204. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
On value alone, Pierce makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 12 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 46. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Good price on Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 76, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No edge and no loss on Kyle McCord in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A big swing on Jaydon Blue at Round 5, Pick 11, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Taking Hollin Pierce in the 171st pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 174 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Phillip Webb at slot 204 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac TeSlaa this early at No. 211. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Walley in the 242nd pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They talked themselves into Shaun Dolac at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
