You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
