Who DALshould take — each prospect's model grade, weighted up where the roster is thin, so highly graded players at positions DAL needs rise to the top.

Xavier Scott sits 26th on the model, 150th in the room — a gap that dwarfs anything else on Dallas's board at 27. The Cowboys need secondary help and the model is screaming for it here, but the house mock skips him entirely, sending Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at 27 and circling back to Ryan Wingo at 47 — a receiver the room is far colder on than the model. If Dallas trusts its board over the field's, Scott is the disconnect worth watching, not the linebacker the mock hands them.
