More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

· 7 picks
· 1 steals
· 5 reaches
When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kingsley Suamataia at the 24th overall pick, a reach of 34 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
The Lassiter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Steal is underselling it; Kamari Lassiter at the 56th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in slot 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at pick No. 124, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeWayne Carter. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Demani Richardson in the 212th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They reached a country mile for McKade Mettauer at the 245th overall pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
