There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Trajan Jeffcoat, 64 picks ahead of schedule.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. That Watts pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 30
In pick 31 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 64
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 73
A conviction pick on Trey Benson at No. 63 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson in the 87th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 184
A premium they did not need to pay, Fabien Lovett a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 207
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathaniel Watson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.36 · Pick 211 · Trajan Jeffcoat · DL-EDGE · rank 275
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trajan Jeffcoat in pick 211, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 229
They paid a round early for Garret Greenfield in Round 6, Pick 41, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Bub Means · WR · rank 228
Good price on Bub Means in slot 233, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 233
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ryan Watts in the 244th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
