There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Tyreak Sapp a full 94 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Cooper Kupp deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Ashton Jeanty is a better player than Round 1, Pick 12 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 61
They jumped the gun on Alfred Collins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 72
Fair-plus on Malachi Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.24 · Pick 125 · Jake Majors · C · rank 92
Jake Majors in pick No. 125 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Theo Wease Jr. · WR · rank 191
A real head-scratcher, Theo Wease Jr. in the 168th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 119
Taking Jay Higgins in the 170th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Tyreak Sapp · DE-EDGE · rank 267
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyreak Sapp in No. 173, miles early. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 272
Thor Griffith at the 186th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Logan Parr · OG · rank 227
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Parr. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 242
A clean, defensible pick in the 248th overall pick with a little surplus value in Shilo Sanders. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
