The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jarrian Jones, the No. 136 name on the board, in slot 233. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They are betting Cole proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at No. 87, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A big swing on Beaux Limmer at the 105th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A premium they did not need to pay, McKinnley Jackson a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Myles Cole in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
You do not let a wide receiver like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint reach pick 216 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They barely believed it either: Roger Rosengarten still on the board at Round 7, Pick 5. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at the 233rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
