The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. The Eric Gregory selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 102 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Smith pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at No. 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in pick No. 39, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A tidy bit of business in the 44th overall pick, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62
Rnd2
Barrett Carter
They talked themselves into Barrett Carter at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in pick 149, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A reach on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 171st pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Eric Gregory
They reached a country mile for Eric Gregory at the 174th overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw at the 211th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
The board fumbled Jermari Harris all the way to slot 239, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
They took Jackson Hawes at par in pick No. 247, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
