The Cowboys let Allar fall and pounced. Final grade: C-. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Drew Allar got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 39.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They will need Graves to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
So much rides on Christen Miller that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In slot 15 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 25th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In No. 31 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Isaiah World
Isaiah World in pick 47 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds slipping to pick No. 115 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch is a better player than the 126th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in Round 5, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Circle this one: Drew Allar at No. 179 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
A reach for Desmond Reid in pick No. 221; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
