The Cowboys found their guy under center in Nix: D. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Zion Logue, 53 picks early at pick No. 233. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever Bo Nix becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
The Washington steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In No. 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 23 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They robbed the room for Patrick Paul here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They paid up for Braelon Allen at pick 90 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Cam Hart
They paid sticker price for Cam Hart in pick 96, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Somehow Malik Washington was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147
Rnd5
Dillon Johnson
A big swing on Dillon Johnson at the 147th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 153 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 41 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233
Rnd7
Zion Logue
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in the 233rd pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
