Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent pick 174 on Jasheen Davis, a name the board had a full 143 spots lower.
That Majors pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A quiet steal in No. 12: Abdul Carter for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Circle this one: Luther Burden III at pick No. 44 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A running back of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
JJ Pegues at the 150th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
They will replay Jake Majors at pick 170 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to Round 5, Pick 35, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jasheen Davis well ahead of where he belonged. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
A real head-scratcher, Quinn Carroll in No. 190 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Steal is underselling it; Mitchell Evans at pick No. 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Alijah Clark at slot 249 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
