Overall

FutureB+
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Michael Pratt at pick No. 60 regardless, 78 picks early.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Lovett falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
A reach for Jonathon Brooks in No. 34; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Michael Pratt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Pratt in pick No. 60, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 87th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in pick 131, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 133rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
Nice patience on Fabien Lovett, who had no business lasting to slot 158. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They went early on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 188 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216
Rnd6
Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in No. 216 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick233
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
A reasonable price with a little left over, Rasheen Ali in the 233rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
They liked Ryan Watts enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 244. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
