Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent the 174th pick on Nohl Williams, a name the board had a full 105 spots lower.

The Helm pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 17
In the 24th pick they get a load in the middle at fair value.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 38
Tyler Booker in No. 44 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 26
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in pick 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.20 · Pick 121 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 121 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.21 · Pick 122 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 70
Quinshon Judkins at the 122nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Gunnar Helm · TE · rank 68
You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach the 150th overall pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 149
Circle this one: Jonah Monheim at pick No. 170 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · KeAndre Lambert-Smith · WR · rank 194
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 279
They reached a country mile for Nohl Williams at Round 5, Pick 35, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Antwane Wells Jr. · WR · rank 192
A straight-up fair deal on Antwane Wells Jr. at slot 190, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · James Burnip · P · rank 169
James Burnip at No. 211 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 242
Ty Hamilton at pick 249 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
