The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Brashard Smith, the No. 108 name on the board, in pick 209.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to pick 22, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Taking Jalon Walker in pick No. 52 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Deone Walker at No. 74 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Tyleik Williams at slot 84 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 148th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Quinshon Judkins in Round 5, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Mason Taylor in the 168th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jayden Higgins in Round 5, Pick 33, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Keon Sabb at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They barely believed it either: Brashard Smith still on the board at slot 209. A need, and now a little less of one.
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 252nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
