Of all the ways to open, the Cowboys chose the head-scratcher, spending pick No. 20 on T.J. Parker with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots still wide open.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If Keldric Faulk and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
