Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys won the night they stopped Cameron from sliding. Grade: B.

Future B-

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cowboys were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Getting Cameron where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Cowboys indulged a want in Golday while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open.

Reaching for Llewellyn left real value on the table behind him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Akheem Mesidor · DE-EDGE · rank 37
They went early on Akheem Mesidor in the Round 1 slot, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · CJ Allen · LB · rank 32
In slot 27 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · D'Angelo Ponds · CB · rank 48
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in pick 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jake Golday · OLB · rank 62
A curious use of the 58th pick. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Jake Golday did not.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Zakee Wheatley · S · rank 90
By-the-book stuff, Zakee Wheatley at No. 92 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Max Llewellyn · DE-EDGE · rank 155
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Max Llewellyn adds an edge rusher and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · Kaleb Proctor · DL · rank 136
Good price on Kaleb Proctor in No. 139, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.37 · Pick 177 · Kevin Coleman Jr. · WR · rank 165
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Kevin Coleman Jr. worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.40 · Pick 180 · Travis Burke · OT · rank 173
Travis Burke in the 180th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.15 · Pick 196 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 181
They let Kaleb Elarms-Orr come to them and pounced at pick 196. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.2 · Pick 218 · Josh Cameron · WR · rank 190
They robbed the room for Josh Cameron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
