Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kyle Williams got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 249th pick. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Adding Elijah Moore by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 25: Jihaad Campbell for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach slot 97 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Jalen Milroe in the 140th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 150 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They will replay Jordan James at pick 161 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Jonah Monheim in No. 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They paid sticker price for Cobee Bryant in Round 5, Pick 33, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the 174th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Steal is underselling it; Phil Mafah at pick No. 190 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Nice patience on Jack Kiser, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Circle this one: Kyle Williams at the 249th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
