Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Germie Bernard, 87 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Dart.

The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Kalel Mullings · RB · rank 45
In pick No. 32 they get a bell-cow for the offense, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 60
They paid up for Jay Higgins at the 44th pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 67
Clay Webb is a better player than the 77th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.12 · Pick 113 · Dontay Corleone · DT · rank 110
Nothing to complain about; Dontay Corleone went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.13 · Pick 151 · Jaxson Dart · QB · rank 126
Somehow Jaxson Dart was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 256
They reached into another round for Germie Bernard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Jermari Harris · CB · rank 164
Jermari Harris in slot 170 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.34 · Pick 172 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 183
Logan Brown at No. 172 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Brennan Presley · WR · rank 191
They paid sticker price for Brennan Presley in the 188th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Trey Moore · LB-EDGE · rank 227
Value said wait; Trey Moore in pick No. 209 says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
