The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Laumea: B. Somebody in Round 5, Pick 38 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Sataoa Laumea, the No. 141 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Colson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They let Chris Braswell come to them and pounced at No. 62. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 93 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the 94th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95
Rnd3
Junior Colson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Junior Colson in pick No. 95, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
Fair-plus on Tykee Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
They went early on T.J. Sanders in the 169th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 174 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jacob Cowing
They robbed the room for Jacob Cowing here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252
Rnd7
Kamal Hadden
A slide stopped in the 252nd overall pick, with Kamal Hadden worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
