Call it larceny. Jake Majors sat on the board until slot 169, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot.
They took Derrick Harmon at par in pick No. 42, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at No. 75 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Tyler Warren at slot 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Taking Jake Majors in the 169th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach the 170th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A running back of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
No edge and no loss on Hunter Wohler in pick 209; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
