Thirty-one other rooms let Riley Leonard slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at No. 172. Highway robbery.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In the 12th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.22 · Pick 22 · Mykel Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In the 22nd pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in No. 44 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 67
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Deone Walker at slot 76 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.23 · Pick 124 · Jordan Phillips · DT · rank 112
Jordan Phillips in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 118
Hollin Pierce at pick 150 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Brashard Smith · RB · rank 117
Taking Brashard Smith in pick No. 170 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Riley Leonard · QB · rank 106
They barely believed it either: Riley Leonard still on the board at Round 5, Pick 33. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Damien Martinez · RB · rank 162
Damien Martinez at the 174th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 186
Good price on Cobee Bryant in the 190th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 188
Circle this one: Jaylen Reed at pick 211 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Kyle Williams · WR · rank 209
They will replay Kyle Williams at pick No. 249 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
