Larceny in the 153rd overall pick lands the Cowboys a D, Jones and all. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick No. 13 they get a disruptor off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at No. 44 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in the 87th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 17, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Watts at slot 231, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
