Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys found their guy under center in Williams: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. On value alone, Williams makes the weekend a net positive. It is not that Isaac is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In pick No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
In slot 27 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It fills a real need, too.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 48
A running back of that caliber at No. 66 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 29
Tyler Guyton in the 67th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 54
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Adisa Isaac adds an edge rusher and leaves cornerback and tight end untouched.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
Value with a capital V on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 64
Kamren Kinchens in Round 3, Pick 24 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 99
They paid sticker price for Jalen McMillan in slot 100, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
James Williams at the 174th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 189
The board fumbled Daijun Edwards all the way to No. 216, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 230
Eric Watts at pick No. 233 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Jordan Whittington · WR · rank 248
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Whittington at the 244th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
