The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Brady Cook, 142 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. On value alone, Paul Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Bond. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Nice patience on Alfred Collins, who had no business lasting to the 78th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brady Cook
They reached into another round for Brady Cook, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phillip Webb this early at Round 5, Pick 31. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in pick No. 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to the 171st overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at No. 189, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joey Slackman well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They paid up for Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 32 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
