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

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

They are betting Hall Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Devonshire at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In No. 23 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In slot 24 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 33
They paid sticker price for Troy Franklin in Round 2, Pick 2, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 48
Jonathon Brooks at pick No. 35 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
The board had cheaper options than Michael Hall Jr. at the 68th overall pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Mahogany a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 93
The board had Malik Washington higher than the 103rd pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 158
Steal is underselling it; Sione Vaki at slot 177 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 191
You do not let a cornerback like M.J. Devonshire reach the 216th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Jaden Crumedy · DT · rank 224
They let Jaden Crumedy come to them and pounced at No. 233. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
JD Bertrand at pick 244 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
