You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Donovan Edwards in slot 94.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

That Riley pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick-by-Pick

R3.2 · Pick 66 · Trevor Etienne · RB · rank 94
Trevor Etienne at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 134
They reached into another round for Donovan Edwards, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Quincy Riley · CB · rank 85
A tidy bit of business in the 96th pick, where Quincy Riley graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.30 · Pick 126 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 141
Andrew Mukuba in Round 4, Pick 30 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.20 · Pick 148 · Alfred Collins · DL · rank 148
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in the 148th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.2 · Pick 162 · Tim Smith · DL · rank 168
No edge and no loss on Tim Smith in pick 162; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.30 · Pick 190 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 208
KJ Jefferson in pick No. 190 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
R7.23 · Pick 215 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 244
A wild overpay on Deontae Lawson in pick 215, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.30 · Pick 222 · Power Echols · LB · rank 260
This one needs a full-page explanation: Power Echols in No. 222, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
