The Eric Gregory pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 98 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Reed steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
Jalon Walker at pick No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 54
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in slot 76, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 75
Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 32 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.22 · Pick 123 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 115
Nice patience on Ajani Cornelius, who had no business lasting to the 123rd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.1 · Pick 140 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 113
Tory Horton in pick 140 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Tahj Brooks · RB · rank 127
They barely believed it either: Tahj Brooks still on the board at No. 150. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Jahvaree Ritzie · DL · rank 253
Jahvaree Ritzie in Round 5, Pick 31 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Addison West · OG · rank 196
Value said wait; Addison West in slot 172 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Eric Gregory · DL · rank 272
They reached a country mile for Eric Gregory at pick No. 174, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 182
JJ Pegues is a better player than No. 190 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 183
They robbed the room for Jaylen Reed here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Donovan Smith · QB · rank 239
A quiet steal in pick 249: Donovan Smith for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
