You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Akheem Mesidor in the 209th overall pick.

However the rest shakes out, Neal at that price is a win they earned. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 24
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the 44th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 49
They took Xavier Restrepo at par in slot 51, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 76
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.19 · Pick 120 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 73
Quinshon Judkins in the 120th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.22 · Pick 123 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 131
They went early on Rylie Mills in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 162
They liked Jaeden Roberts enough to skip the value, taking him in the 148th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Max Brosmer · QB · rank 283
Max Brosmer at slot 168 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 85
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at the 170th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 82
Devin Neal at pick 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Jalen Travis · OT · rank 260
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 304
They reached into another round for Jasheen Davis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Akheem Mesidor · DL-EDGE · rank 333
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Akheem Mesidor. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 280
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at pick No. 248, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
