The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Nobody had Trey Moore this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 119 spots to get him at pick 174. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Higgins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. 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

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 19
In slot 22 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 54
They jumped the gun on Isaiah Bond, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 76th overall pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 68
Value with a capital V on Gunnar Helm in Round 3, Pick 18, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 73
Jayden Higgins at pick 150 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 125
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to pick No. 170, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Jabbar Muhammad · CB · rank 152
They barely believed it either: Jabbar Muhammad still on the board at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.34 · Pick 173 · Chase Lundt · OT · rank 173
Chase Lundt at the 173rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Trey Moore · LB-EDGE · rank 293
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Moore. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 205
A reach on Jordan Hancock in the 190th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 175
Ollie Gordon II in Round 6, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.2 · Pick 220 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 251
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at No. 220. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Eric Gregory · DL · rank 283
Value said wait; Eric Gregory in pick No. 249 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
