FutureA
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D. Some picks age like wine; Evan Anderson at pick No. 212 will need to, sitting 61 spots clear of his grade.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Simpson makes the weekend a net positive.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A tidy little value on Dallas Turner in Round 1, Pick 18, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Morgan at No. 24, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick33
Rnd2
Bo Nix
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bo Nix in pick 33. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick49
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Fair-plus on Byron Murphy II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick56
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
They liked Matt Goncalves enough to skip the value, taking him in the 95th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 10 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at pick 168 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
No drama and no debate, Michael Barrett went about where he belonged in pick No. 174. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at No. 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190
Rnd6
Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in the 190th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jawhar Jordan
No edge and no loss on Jawhar Jordan in slot 196; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212
Rnd6
Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at slot 212 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 222, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
Nice patience on Zakhari Franklin, who had no business lasting to the 233rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
Value said wait; Jordan Whittington in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245
Rnd7
Hayden Hatten
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Hatten in Round 7, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dwight McGlothern in the 253rd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
