FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B. The Cowboys spent real capital to be 94 picks early on Elijah Simmons, and the board is going to hold them to it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Randolph Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still on the board.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick74
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Patrick Paul in the 74th overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at No. 83, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Cedric Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Johnson. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89
Rnd3
Keith Randolph Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Keith Randolph Jr. adds an edge rusher and leaves wide receiver, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick124
Rnd4
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They left a pile of value on the table to take Edefuan Ulofoshio this early at the 124th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Curtis Jacobs
A real head-scratcher, Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 145 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
A big swing on Roger Rosengarten at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Circle this one: Jaylin Simpson at the 180th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
Value said wait; Trevor Keegan in slot 187 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in pick 189 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They will replay Jaylan Ford at the 196th pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225
Rnd7
Desmond Evans
Desmond Evans at Round 7, Pick 5 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick229
Rnd7
Elijah Simmons
Elijah Simmons at No. 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 233, where Sheridan Jones graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245
Rnd7
Caleb Okechukwu
Caleb Okechukwu at Round 7, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick256
Rnd7
Aaron Frost
They did well to land Aaron Frost in the 256th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
