FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: C. The rest of the league had time to spare on Joe Milton III; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 63 spots ahead at pick No. 153.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In No. 29 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
They paid up for Devontez Walker at Round 3, Pick 9 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 90 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 114th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 136th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
Myles Cole
Myles Cole in the 147th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
The board had cheaper options than Dwight McGlothern at slot 174, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the 180th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Grayson Murphy
A straight-up fair deal on Grayson Murphy at pick 193, value and slot in agreement. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
