FutureA
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a D to match. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Evan Anderson, 48 picks ahead of schedule. Put together, it is a D.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Bullock pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter is a better player than Round 2, Pick 24 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk slid further than he should have, and the 81st overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96
Rnd3
Trey Benson
The board had Trey Benson higher than pick 96, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Good price on Maason Smith in the 116th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
The board fumbled Calen Bullock all the way to slot 121, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick136
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
They paid up for Trevor Keegan at Round 4, Pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau slipping to the 174th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 203 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in the 216th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
A real head-scratcher, Evan Anderson in pick No. 233 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244
Rnd7
Zion Logue
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in pick 244, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
