There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Jasheen Davis, 147 picks ahead of schedule.

They banked enough surplus on Carter to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In pick 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 15
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the 45th pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 41
You do not let a running back like Kaleb Johnson reach slot 76 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Shemar Turner · DL · rank 127
A reach for Shemar Turner in pick No. 116; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 87
Taking Carson Schwesinger in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.13 · Pick 152 · Jackson Slater · OG · rank 147
Jackson Slater in the 152nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 317
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jasheen Davis this early at the Round 5 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 187
Jaylen Reed in slot 172 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 145
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Robert Spears-Jennings in pick No. 174, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 305
A real head-scratcher, KJ Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 12 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 83
Barrett Carter in the 211th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Aydan White · CB · rank 276
A big swing on Aydan White at the 249th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
