There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Jamaree Caldwell, 78 picks ahead of schedule.
The Ransom steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 16 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T.J. Sanders in the 55th pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
A big swing on Logan Brown at the 78th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to pick No. 83, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 86 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at slot 148 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Sonny Styles at pick 155 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A real head-scratcher, Davison Igbinosun in the 168th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Cody Simon in slot 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at pick No. 171. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Eli Stowers at Round 6, Pick 14 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Jamaree Caldwell at the 209th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They let Ben Yurosek come to them and pounced at No. 248. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
