There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Emmanuel Pregnon a full 26 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
