Dallas Cowboys

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 26 spots for Gabe Hall, and value like that does not grow back. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Colson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 27
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 53
Kiran Amegadjie at the 56th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
They let Junior Colson come to them and pounced at the 87th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 128
A straight-up fair deal on MarShawn Lloyd at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 200
Value said wait; Gabe Hall in slot 174 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 217
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Daequan Hardy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 265
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at the 245th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
