When a board-topper like Myles Harden slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

Every board in the league had Okie-Anoma lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 29
In the 25th pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 49
A tidy bit of business in pick 60, where Junior Colson graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 78
Jaylen Wright slid further than he should have, and pick No. 87 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 81
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at slot 91. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 95
Nothing to complain about; Brenden Rice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jalyx Hunt · S-EDGE · rank 170
Jalyx Hunt in No. 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
R5.39 · Pick 175 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 171
A tidy little value on Walter Rouse in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Myles Murphy · DL · rank 218
No edge and no loss on Myles Murphy in the 213th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 264
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 197
Taking Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 242 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 236
Fair-plus on KT Leveston, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Myles Harden · CB · rank 184
Somehow Myles Harden was still sitting there in the 246th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 249
Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 252 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
