The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Jasheen Davis, 145 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Bowman Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In slot 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Elic Ayomanor · WR · rank 57
Nothing to complain about; Elic Ayomanor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 74
No edge and no loss on Omarr Norman-Lott in pick 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Oluwafemi Oladejo · LB-EDGE · rank 228
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.32 · Pick 96 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 87
Value with a capital V on Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 32, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.28 · Pick 129 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 142
They jumped the gun on Oronde Gadsden II, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.13 · Pick 150 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach the 150th overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Tyler Cooper · OG · rank 177
They paid sticker price for Tyler Cooper in pick 170, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.35 · Pick 172 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 317
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jasheen Davis this early at the 172nd pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.37 · Pick 174 · Billy Bowman Jr. · S · rank 119
Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 187
Good price on Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.36 · Pick 211 · Jalen Travis · OT · rank 268
Jalen Travis at No. 211 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 305
They reached into another round for KJ Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.33 · Pick 249 · Fentrell Cypress II · CB · rank 300
Fentrell Cypress II at pick No. 249 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
