I think Round 1, pick 17: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma was a home run. But also Dallas was in a no lose situation there. Chaisson would have been perfectly fine and Lamb was an even better choice for immediate impact on a team with a SB directive and aspirations.
I think Round 2, pick 51: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama was a typical Cowboys draft call. Long-armed press corner from a powerhouse program. Happened to marry need with talent. Could be CB1 in a hurry as the team catches up to him on scheme.
I think Round 3, pick 82: Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma was a steal. DT was a common mock target for DAL in rounds 2 and 3. Not a lot of long term depth in place in Dallas inside. Gallimore, 23, and Hill, 22, give this team a chance to build a plus interior going forward.
I think Round 4, pick 123: Reggie Robinson II, CB, Tulsa was the favorite of Will McClay because that is the perfect body type to execute the scheme they are targeting. He may need a year but that's a nice pick for a team who has so few CB signed beyond next year.
I think Round 5, pick 146: Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin was unfair. DAL stole this kid who may need a year to fully recover but was the best OC in college football.
I think Round 5, pick 179: Bradlee Anae, DE, Utah will make some plays for you. I don't know he is ever an every down NFL player but NFL teams rotate pass rushers on and this guy has great technique and pad level.
I think Round 7, pick 231: Ben DiNucci, QB, James Madison is a fine shot in dark at QB though I could tell you zero about him as a prospect. Cement him as opposed to trying to outbid others in UDFA
I think UDFA: Terrence Steele, OT, Texas Tech will surprise some people. When he signed to Texas Tech he was at the lower range of their frosh class but showed quickly to be the best OL of his class and was just rock steady for 4 years. Could see him as a long-term swing OT after a year on the practice squad.
I think UDFA: Francis Bernard, LB, Utah should have been drafted. He had some maturity and off-field issues but if people watched Utah hit the top 10 this year they saw Bernard (and Anae) make tons of plays. Utah allowed the 2nd fewest yards per game in FBS. He might be the best ST coverage guy if Goodwin gets released.
I think this is a draftnik's dream haul for this team. I ran probably 100 mocks across 3 or 4 different online mock simulators with twice as many big boards as authorities. I never once saw CeeDee Lamb fall to 17. Not once. I might have gotten Diggs a handful of times at 51. There were mocks we laughed off as homer mocks that had less talent.
