Milroe is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Brady Cook, 85 picks ahead of schedule.
The whole projection now runs through Jalen Milroe; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Grant pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In No. 24 they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jalen Milroe
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 44 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 51st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They took Mason Taylor at par in pick No. 76, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They paid sticker price for Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 17, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 97 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
LeQuint Allen
They paid up for LeQuint Allen at the 122nd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
A clean, defensible pick in No. 129 with a little surplus value in Dorian Strong. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at pick No. 136 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139
Rnd5
Sai'vion Jones
They paid a round early for Sai'vion Jones in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
A wild overpay on Jaylen Reed in the 149th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick174
Rnd5
Que Robinson
They talked themselves into Que Robinson at slot 174, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick191
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at slot 191 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204
Rnd6
Brady Cook
Brady Cook at No. 204 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
No drama and no debate, Nazir Stackhouse went about where he belonged in pick No. 211. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Value said wait; Kaden Prather in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
