A mixed bag for the Cowboys, and a C- to match.

The war room fell hard for Johntay Cook, and it showed at pick No. 12: 198 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

However the rest shakes out, Weeks at that price is a win they earned. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Johntay Cook
In the 12th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Brandon Baker
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick112 Rnd4 Joe Otting
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Otting. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 La'khi Roland
A real head-scratcher, La'khi Roland in pick 150 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
They left a pile of value on the table to take CJ Baxter this early at slot 177. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 CJ Bailey
Steal is underselling it; CJ Bailey at pick No. 215 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jake Johnson
Jake Johnson at pick No. 225 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Whit Weeks
You do not let a linebacker like Whit Weeks reach Round 7, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
