When a board-topper like Jason Marshall Jr. slides to Round 7, Pick 31, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.
The cost of the Frazier reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Amarius Mims leading the way.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 18 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Omarion Hampton at slot 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
The board fumbled Isaiah Bond all the way to the 76th pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They robbed the room for Donovan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A slide stopped in pick 118, with Jalen Milroe worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They liked Robert Spears-Jennings enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 36. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Joshua Farmer at the 150th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Taking Jeffrey Bassa in slot 170 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 172 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Circle this one: Lander Barton at the 174th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A conviction pick on Jordan Hancock at No. 190 that the board grades a round light. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Miles Frazier at the 211th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
You do not let a cornerback like Jason Marshall Jr. reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
