Grand theft in No. 211: the Cowboys steal Cameron and grade out a D-.

Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

Reaching for Jamison-Travis left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Cameron steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Avieon Terrell · CB · rank 17
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
In pick 24 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Christen Miller · DL · rank 37
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christen Miller. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
Dillon Thieneman is a better player than slot 45 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 74
Somehow Jacob Rodriguez was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 28, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Jude Bowry · OT · rank 123
A reach on Jude Bowry in the 112th pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 122
Bryce Lance at the 115th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.40 · Pick 140 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 154
Beau Stephens at Round 4, Pick 40 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Matt Gulbin · C · rank 179
Matt Gulbin at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.34 · Pick 174 · Louis Moore · S · rank 160
Louis Moore at slot 174 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R5.37 · Pick 177 · Bobby Jamison-Travis · DT · rank 205
Value said wait; Bobby Jamison-Travis in No. 177 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
R5.40 · Pick 180 · J'Mari Taylor · RB · rank 187
They paid sticker price for J'Mari Taylor in the 180th overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R6.30 · Pick 211 · Josh Cameron · WR · rank 183
They robbed the room for Josh Cameron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.2 · Pick 218 · Andre Fuller · CB · rank 225
Andre Fuller in pick No. 218 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
