Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys bet big and early on R.J. Oben, 138 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Landing Pegues that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 12
In pick 14 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 32
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at pick No. 44. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 70
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 76th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.11 · Pick 149 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 127
The board fumbled Jeffrey Bassa all the way to Round 5, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.13 · Pick 151 · Tyler Shough · QB · rank 136
Tyler Shough in slot 151 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Chase Lundt · OT · rank 161
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chase Lundt at the Round 5 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Tommi Hill · CB · rank 153
Circle this one: Tommi Hill at slot 171 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.36 · Pick 174 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 240
Value said wait; Miles Frazier in Round 5, Pick 36 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.12 · Pick 188 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 181
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 176
They will replay JJ Pegues at No. 211 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · R.J. Oben · DL-EDGE · rank 385
R.J. Oben in pick No. 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
