Grand theft in slot 124: the Cowboys steal Trapilo and grade out a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Ozzy Trapilo, the No. 85 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 124th pick.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in the 44th overall pick, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
The board had Deone Walker higher than pick No. 76, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ozzy Trapilo in the 124th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
