A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Cowboys chose the head-scratcher, spending slot 24 on LT Overton with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots still wide open.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In No. 13 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 LT Overton
A curious use of the 24th overall pick. Wide receiver, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in LT Overton did not.
