There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Quinn Ewers a full 48 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
However the rest shakes out, Alexander at that price is a win they earned. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 12 they get juice off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
They talked themselves into Quinn Ewers at pick No. 44, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quinshon Judkins in the 76th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
You do not let a wide receiver like Tory Horton reach pick 150 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Darius Alexander at slot 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Kobe King in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They let RJ Harvey come to them and pounced at pick 174. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A straight-up fair deal on Nazir Stackhouse at Round 6, Pick 12, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Alijah Huzzie at the 211th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Torricelli Simpkins III at pick No. 249 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
