FutureB-
Larceny in the 132nd pick lands the Cowboys a B+, Polk and all. You could see the war room lean forward. Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 4 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Nice patience on Amarius Mims, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 4. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 48th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
You do not let an edge rusher like Kris Jenkins reach pick 73 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick96
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 96th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 132 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Javon Foster
They barely believed it either: Javon Foster still on the board at pick No. 142. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at slot 150 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki slipping to slot 168 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the 170th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at pick 186 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Taking Cody Schrader in the 202nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 6, Pick 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233
Rnd7
Trente Jones
Trente Jones in No. 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
They let Michael Barrett come to them and pounced at pick No. 244. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
