FutureA+
Larceny in No. 244 lands the Cowboys a D+, McGlothern and all. The rest of the league will want that one back. Dwight McGlothern tumbling to the Cowboys in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.
They will need Hartman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In slot 3 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In No. 4 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 22nd overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 24th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 43 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in pick 56. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Troy Franklin
They will replay Troy Franklin at Round 3, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 22, where Zak Zinter graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd5
Will Shipley
They robbed the room for Will Shipley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Fair-plus on Justin Eboigbe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick162
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Circle this one: Josh Newton at No. 162 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168
Rnd5
James Williams
Taking James Williams in the 168th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at the 173rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jalyx Hunt
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in pick 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233
Rnd7
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at Round 7, Pick 13 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
Somehow Dwight McGlothern was still sitting there in pick 244, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
