Grand theft in the Round 4 slot: the Cowboys steal Taaffe and grade out a C-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Michael Taaffe slide 46 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It lands right in the middle: a C-, no more, no less.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In slot 10 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 28 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
They paid sticker price for Dontay Corleone in pick 46, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64
Rnd2
Colton Hood
Colton Hood in the 64th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor in No. 92 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in the 114th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128
Rnd4
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at Round 4, Pick 28 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Eric Rivers
A quiet steal in No. 154: Eric Rivers for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 176th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 179 with a little surplus value in Jermaine Mathews Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
Mark Fletcher Jr.
The board had Mark Fletcher Jr. higher than the 215th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
