D

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Future A

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Collins reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Landing Cook that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 3
In No. 7 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.17 · Pick 17 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 15
Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R1.26 · Pick 26 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 26
In the 26th overall pick they get a featured back at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 40
Tyler Booker in pick 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 68
A reach on Elic Ayomanor in the 58th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 69
No drama and no debate, Tre Harris went about where he belonged in slot 63. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 86
Nice patience on Donovan Edwards, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 31. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.3 · Pick 99 · Nazir Stackhouse · DT · rank 94
Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 99 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
R4.7 · Pick 103 · Jaxson Dart · QB · rank 104
No edge and no loss on Jaxson Dart in pick 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.26 · Pick 122 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 141
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.26 · Pick 154 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 175
A real head-scratcher, Alfred Collins in the 154th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.26 · Pick 186 · Theo Wease Jr. · WR · rank 190
By-the-book stuff, Theo Wease Jr. at Round 6, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 223 · Brady Cook · QB · rank 209
A quiet steal in the 223rd pick: Brady Cook for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
