Somebody in the 204th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Lathan Ransom, the No. 105 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They will need Mauigoa to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 31
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 40
Nothing to complain about; Tyleik Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Trey Amos · CB · rank 50
No edge and no loss on Trey Amos in pick 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jayden Higgins · WR · rank 68
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 12, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 150
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Tyler Shough · QB · rank 139
Tyler Shough in the 171st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
R5.36 · Pick 174 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 172
They took Ajani Cornelius at par in the 174th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.28 · Pick 204 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 105
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Lathan Ransom in No. 204, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 174
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach slot 211 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Zeek Biggers · DT · rank 247
Zeek Biggers in the 239th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Francisco Mauigoa · LB · rank 298
Francisco Mauigoa at No. 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
