There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Tommy Eichenberg, 36 picks ahead of schedule.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Melton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
They paid a round early for Audric Estime in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Eichenberg in slot 89, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 101 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A tidy bit of business in pick 124, where Max Melton graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
No drama and no debate, Roger Rosengarten went about where he belonged in the 168th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Curtis Jacobs in slot 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A big swing on Sam Hartman at the 180th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 212. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They paid sticker price for Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 245, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
