Dallas Cowboys

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

Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Beebe left real value on the table behind him. That Corum pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Will Hernandez leading the way.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 21
In pick No. 18 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 32
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 3 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 77
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 75
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in pick 75; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 73
A quiet steal in No. 87: Blake Corum for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 103
Dominick Puni at slot 104 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.22 · Pick 122 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 124
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in the 122nd pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
Javon Foster at No. 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 183
They went early on Michael Barrett in pick No. 174, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 217
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jase McClellan. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
Dwight McGlothern at the 245th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
