Dallas Cowboys' draft (mostly) all about a defense that needed change
After allowing a franchise-record 473 points and 6,183 yards in Nolan's one year as coordinator, the Cowboys knew they had to make a drastic change in 2021 on defense. It started in January with the hiring of Dan Quinn as coordinator and culminated over the 2021 NFL draft with a first in team history.

NFL draft draws 160,000 fans despite pandemic, points to 'brighter days' ahead
While those numbers pale in comparison to what the three-day draft drew in previous years in Nashville and Philadelphia, they also reflect the necessary health and safety protocols the league observed.

NFL draft 2021: Ranking the best in-draft trades, and why the Giants, Vikings got value
To determine reasonable values for draft picks relative to one another, we have our own draft chart based on a regression of historical performance of players by draft pick using Pro Football Reference's approximate value metric (similar to work done by many others, including Chase Stuart in 2013). By comparison, the antiquated Jimmy Johnson chart overweighs how quickly the talent of players drops off as picks elapse in the draft. Our analysis does not include the difference in salary by pick, as Massey and Thaler's research did, which would cause an even more severe departure from the Johnson chart.
