Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Cowboys: C.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cowboys left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

That Greenfield pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A straight-up fair deal on Junior Colson at the 50th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Wright in pick No. 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They paid sticker price for Mekhi Wingo in pick 100, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They let Brenden Rice come to them and pounced at No. 105. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Fair-plus on Kamal Hadden, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 216th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at No. 233 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in Round 7, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
