There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Joey Slackman, 78 picks ahead of schedule. A mixed bag that lands at C.
Landing Dart that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Josaiah Stewart at pick No. 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Kenneth Grant at slot 77 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Evan Stewart at pick 113 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Value said wait; Jonah Coleman in No. 151 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They robbed the room for DJ Giddens here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alfred Collins well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A big swing on Joey Slackman at the 172nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Gunnar Helm slipping to Round 6, Pick 13 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Roberts in No. 189, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Jaxson Dart in slot 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
