Dallas Cowboys

McCarthy is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a A.

Future A+

The rest of the league will want that one back. Isaiah Williams tumbling to the Cowboys in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Everything downstream of J.J. McCarthy depends on J.J. McCarthy, and the building knows it. The cost of the Logue reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 23
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise, reach and all. A real need, handled.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
Troy Fautanu in slot 24 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
Graham Barton at pick 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 43
Nice patience on Keon Coleman, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
Trey Benson at slot 90 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 94
They will replay Caelen Carson at the 123rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 90
You do not let a wide receiver like Javon Baker reach the 127th pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at No. 138, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 184
Fabien Lovett at pick No. 174 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 202
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 41, with Kendall Milton worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
A clean, defensible pick in slot 226 with a little surplus value in JD Bertrand. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 286
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at the 233rd pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 181
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Williams still on the board at No. 244. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
