The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 256 on DeMonte Capehart, a name most had 42 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B.
However the rest shakes out, Dial at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In slot 24 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 56th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick No. 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
They paid sticker price for MarShawn Lloyd in Round 4, Pick 25, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183
Rnd6
Roger Rosengarten
Good price on Roger Rosengarten in No. 183, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
Value said wait; Trevor Keegan in the 213th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223
Rnd7
Marcellas Dial
The board fumbled Marcellas Dial all the way to the 223rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at slot 242 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick256
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 256th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
