You build a draft on nights like this. Jahdae Barron had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 33, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 16th overall pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 47 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Tyleik Williams at slot 78 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at No. 117 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They robbed the room for Cam Ward here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach Round 5, Pick 31 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Deontae Lawson at pick No. 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Dylan Fairchild in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Ashton Gillotte in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They barely believed it either: Jahdae Barron still on the board at Round 6, Pick 33. A minor itch, scratched.
