Dallas Cowboys

A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a 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. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

They are betting Harris proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
In No. 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 36
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 57
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in slot 56. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 77
Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 75
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at the 71st pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
A reach on Tyler Davis in the 87th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 130
MarShawn Lloyd in pick 124 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 183
They paid up for Michael Barrett at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Marcus Harris · DE-EDGE · rank 237
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Harris this early at pick No. 212. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
They went early on Dwight McGlothern in the 245th overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
