A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent pick No. 20 on Deontae Lawson, a name the board had a full 36 spots lower.
The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Downs pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that.
Pick20
Rnd1
Deontae Lawson
In the 20th overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
