The Cowboys ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Ulofoshio that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at pick 34. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Graham Barton at pick No. 56 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
McKinnley Jackson in slot 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A reach on Audric Estime in the 89th overall pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Max Melton slipping to No. 124 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
You do not let a linebacker like Edefuan Ulofoshio reach Round 5, Pick 38 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A reach for Darius Muasau in the 212th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
