You build a draft on nights like this. Jalen Green had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 25, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out a thoroughly average C.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick-by-Pick
Xavier Legette in slot 56 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Christian Mahogany at No. 87 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Adams in the 124th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 170. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Good price on Omar Speights in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jalen Green in pick 245, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
