Jones should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B. The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jarrian Jones, the No. 136 name on the board, in slot 233. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They are betting Cole proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at No. 87, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
A big swing on Beaux Limmer at the 105th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, McKinnley Jackson a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174
Rnd5
Myles Cole
Myles Cole in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
You do not let a wide receiver like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint reach pick 216 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225
Rnd7
Roger Rosengarten
They barely believed it either: Roger Rosengarten still on the board at Round 7, Pick 5. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jarrian Jones
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at the 233rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
