Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.
Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 3 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
In slot 9 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 24. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Nice patience on Brenden Rice, who had no business lasting to pick No. 87. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in the 124th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They paid sticker price for Jordan Jefferson in No. 177, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
A quiet steal in the 212th pick: Jawhar Jordan for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Kedon Slovis slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Ja'Had Carter at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
