Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Chris Paul Jr. got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at pick 227.

They are betting Jefferson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 3
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tetairoa McMillan in the 44th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 15
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at Round 3, Pick 12. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 105
Cam Skattebo in No. 150 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Ty Robinson · DL · rank 169
Ty Robinson at pick No. 172 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 87
Carson Schwesinger in the 174th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jackson Slater · OG · rank 147
They robbed the room for Jackson Slater here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.14 · Pick 192 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 187
Jaylen Reed at slot 192 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.25 · Pick 203 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 109
Lathan Ransom in the 203rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.9 · Pick 227 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 88
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in No. 227 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.12 · Pick 230 · Amari Kight · OT · rank 266
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Amari Kight. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 305
They left a pile of value on the table to take KJ Jefferson this early at Round 7, Pick 31. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
