Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Mello Dotson at No. 89 is 51 spots clear of where he belonged.

Getting Reid where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ashton Jeanty at Round 1, Pick 12. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 47
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at the 58th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tyler Baron · DE-EDGE · rank 81
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Baron at the 76th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Mello Dotson · CB · rank 140
Mello Dotson in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.26 · Pick 127 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 136
Cody Simon at No. 127 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Pat Bryant · WR · rank 147
Pat Bryant at slot 150 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.28 · Pick 167 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 158
A slide stopped in pick 167, with Raheim Sanders worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Nick Nash · WR · rank 155
They let Nick Nash come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Tyler Cooper · OG · rank 178
They paid sticker price for Tyler Cooper in slot 172, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Ty Robinson · DL · rank 171
They did well to land Ty Robinson in pick No. 174, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 174
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 12, where Dorian Strong graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Karene Reid · LB · rank 194
Karene Reid is a better player than No. 211 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Kevin Jennings · QB · rank 267
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kevin Jennings in the 249th pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
