Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Jake Golday, the No. 58 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 3 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Young pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With wide receiver, linebacker and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 12 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
A surprising call. With wide receiver, linebacker and other spots still to address, they spent the 92nd overall pick on Jake Golday, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Aamil Wagner at pick No. 177 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good price on Thaddeus Dixon in the 218th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
