Manning is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D. The rest of the league had time to spare on LJ Martin; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 48 spots ahead at No. 68.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Whatever Arch Manning becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.
Green at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, offensive lineman very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Arch Manning
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick7
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matayo Uiagalelei. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick37
Rnd2
Trey'Dez Green
The board fumbled Trey'Dez Green all the way to the 37th overall pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick38
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
The board had A'Mauri Washington higher than slot 38, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Vicari Swain
They paid sticker price for Vicari Swain in pick 66, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
LJ Martin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, LJ Martin well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ian Strong
They talked themselves into Ian Strong at pick 105, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125
Rnd4
Kam Robinson
They liked Kam Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 125th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Tao Johnson
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Tao Johnson worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
