The Cowboys jumped the board for McGlothern and paid for it: F. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent No. 242 on Dwight McGlothern, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 9th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 56 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87
Rnd3
Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in slot 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in pick No. 125, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They reached a country mile for Braelon Allen at pick No. 133, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at No. 158 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 172 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173
Rnd5
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at slot 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick182
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for De'Corian Clark. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213
Rnd6
Ryan Watts
They liked Ryan Watts enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at the 242nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
