The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Collins: C+. Call it larceny. Alfred Collins sat on the board until pick 76, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Green reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
So much rides on Mike Green that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mike Green
In No. 12 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 44th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 3, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
