Future B-

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 34 spots for Darius Robinson, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. On value alone, Jefferson makes the weekend a net positive. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 65 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson in slot 87 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Zak Zinter at pick 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 126
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Justin Eboigbe at edge rusher with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Austin Booker · DE-EDGE · rank 164
Austin Booker in pick 173 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 187
The board fumbled Jordan Jefferson all the way to slot 213, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 212
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing De'Corian Clark in the 222nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
