The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Taylen Green, 105 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Put together, it is a D.

That Burch pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Cowboys indulged a want in Sawyer while a need in offensive lineman stayed open.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In slot 12 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Mike Green · DE · rank 34
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Green at the 42nd pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 21
A running back of that caliber at pick 44 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Jack Sawyer · DE · rank 26
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Jack Sawyer in the 50th overall pick leaves offensive lineman for later.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jalen Royals · WR · rank 71
Jalen Royals at No. 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Darien Porter · CB · rank 82
A premium they did not need to pay, Darien Porter a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 49
Xavier Watts in the 72nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 72
Deone Walker at pick No. 74 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in slot 76, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 75
A surprising call. With offensive lineman still to address, they spent No. 92 on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
R4.10 · Pick 111 · Tyler Baron · DE · rank 84
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tyler Baron at edge rusher with offensive lineman open.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 274
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in pick 169, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 107
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at Round 5, Pick 32. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 137
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 171 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Jordan Burch · DE · rank 117
Circle this one: Jordan Burch at pick No. 188 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 153
Somehow Raheim Sanders was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
