There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for KJ Jefferson, 82 picks ahead of schedule.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tuten. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 16
In slot 12 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 105
A big swing on Dylan Fairchild at No. 76, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 174
They reached a country mile for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 150, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 175
Cobee Bryant in the 170th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 164
Ollie Gordon II is a better player than the 172nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 197
Jack Kiser in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Cam Jackson · DT · rank 220
A real head-scratcher, Cam Jackson in Round 6, Pick 12 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 150
Bhayshul Tuten in the 211th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 331
This one needs a full-page explanation: KJ Jefferson in pick 249, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
