Milton III should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B-.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Joe Milton III, the No. 194 name on the board, in slot 212.

The cost of the Chambers reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 30 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caelen Carson
A reach for Caelen Carson in the 62nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in pick No. 130. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
A reach on Moose Muhammad III in the 174th pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They barely believed it either: Joe Milton III still on the board at No. 212. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
The board had cheaper options than Steele Chambers at pick 251, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
