Somebody in No. 177 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Devin Neal, the No. 86 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If Sanders pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention. Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In No. 16 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 29
They robbed the room for Kenneth Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 45
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick No. 76 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at pick 84. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 127
Cody Simon at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.13 · Pick 151 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 89
Danny Stutsman in Round 5, Pick 13 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.30 · Pick 168 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 126
Sonny Styles in the 168th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 220
Davison Igbinosun at the 169th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 179
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 170 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 209
Miles Frazier in slot 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.34 · Pick 172 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 198
They reached into another round for Bryce Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 86
They will replay Devin Neal at Round 6, Pick 2 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 246
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in pick 190 is miles ahead of his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 256
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Anthony Belton well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 265
Taylen Green at pick No. 209 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
