The Cowboys did not so much draft Jordan Whittington as overpay for him, 67 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Watson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
They did well to land Kamren Kinchens in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Denzel Burke in the 62nd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Fair-plus on Christian Mahogany, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Nice patience on LaDarius Henderson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 174. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jordan Whittington at pick 212 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
You do not let a linebacker like Nathaniel Watson reach pick 251 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
