There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Donovan Edwards a full 54 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. On value alone, Ward makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R3.20 · Pick 84 · Cameron Ward · QB · rank 64
Circle this one: Cameron Ward at No. 84 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 140
Donovan Edwards in pick 86 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 78
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Shilo Sanders at pick No. 94. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.30 · Pick 126 · Denver Harris · CB · rank 117
The board had Denver Harris higher than Round 4, Pick 30, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.11 · Pick 139 · Alfred Collins · DL · rank 156
A reach for Alfred Collins in the 139th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.13 · Pick 141 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 168
They reached a country mile for T.J. Sanders at slot 141, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.8 · Pick 168 · Gabe Jacas · LB-EDGE · rank 186
A wild overpay on Gabe Jacas in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.13 · Pick 173 · Sean Martin · DL-EDGE · rank 190
A premium they did not need to pay, Sean Martin a notch or two before his time. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.30 · Pick 190 · Fentrell Cypress II · CB · rank 183
Fentrell Cypress II at pick 190 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.13 · Pick 205 · Justin Walley · CB · rank 193
A quiet steal in slot 205: Justin Walley for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.20 · Pick 212 · Keaten Wade · LB-EDGE · rank 228
Keaten Wade at No. 212 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.30 · Pick 222 · Shawn Murphy · LB · rank 218
A tidy little value on Shawn Murphy in pick No. 222, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
