The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. Some picks age like wine; John Michael Gyllenborg at pick 218 will need to, sitting 31 spots clear of his grade. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Getting Rivers where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
CJ Allen
In the 28th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Malachi Lawrence
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malachi Lawrence this early at the 59th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jacob Rodriguez at slot 92. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112
Rnd4
Chandler Rivers
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Chandler Rivers in No. 112, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Value said wait; Ted Hurst in Round 5, Pick 12 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177
Rnd5
Zane Durant
They did well to land Zane Durant in No. 177, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
They liked Aaron Graves enough to skip the value, taking him in the 180th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218
Rnd7
John Michael Gyllenborg
John Michael Gyllenborg at pick 218 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
