The Cowboys torched the value chart for Jowon Briggs, taking him 37 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Turner pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th pick they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
The board had Roman Wilson higher than pick 56, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Steele Chambers at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They talked themselves into LaDarius Henderson at No. 216, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A big swing on Jowon Briggs at the 233rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Nick Gargiulo at Round 7, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
