Dallas Cowboys

Larceny in the 138th overall pick lands the Cowboys a C+, Paul Jr. and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Chris Paul Jr. at pick 138 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Hit on Will Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Will Johnson · CB · rank 8
In the 12th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 30
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarion Hampton in pick No. 44. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 65
Dylan Sampson slipping to pick 76 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
R3.35 · Pick 99 · Savion Williams · WR · rank 98
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Savion Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.9 · Pick 110 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 111
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.37 · Pick 138 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 88
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in Round 4, Pick 37 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.38 · Pick 139 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 109
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in slot 139, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Mitchell Evans · TE · rank 154
They read the board right and Mitchell Evans was the payoff at the 170th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Tyler Shough · QB · rank 153
Tyler Shough at pick 172 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 185
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 174. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 213
Hayden Conner at No. 190 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 251
Clay Webb at slot 249 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
