Dallas Cowboys

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

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Reaching for Harris left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
In pick 24 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 36
Xavier Legette at No. 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 57
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 77
Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
They jumped the gun on Tyler Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 98
No drama and no debate, Audric Estime went about where he belonged in pick No. 100. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · DJ James · CB · rank 113
DJ James in the 102nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 24 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 183
A reach on Michael Barrett in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
They paid up for Christian Jones at slot 181 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Marcus Harris · DE-EDGE · rank 237
Marcus Harris in pick 212 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 217
Fair-plus on Jase McClellan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
The board had cheaper options than Dwight McGlothern at No. 245, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
