Larceny in the 212th pick lands the Cowboys a B, Knox and all.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Trey Knox, the No. 182 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 37 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every board in the league had Jones lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slipping to Round 3, Pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in slot 133, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A wild overpay on Christian Jones in pick No. 174, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They barely believed it either: Trey Knox still on the board at the 212th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Myles Jones
A tidy bit of business in No. 227, where Myles Jones graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in the 245th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
