When a board-topper like Blake Watson slides to No. 244, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Davis lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in slot 56, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A premium they did not need to pay, Ray Davis a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Nice patience on Jordan Magee, who had no business lasting to pick No. 174. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Fair-plus on Jalen Coker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
By-the-book stuff, Ryan Watts at Round 7, Pick 13 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
The board fumbled Blake Watson all the way to No. 244, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
