The Barryn Sorrell selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 79 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In No. 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 48
Tre Harris at slot 45 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 67
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at the 76th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 114
Ajani Cornelius in pick 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 88
Chris Paul Jr. in Round 5, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.13 · Pick 152 · Tyler Cooper · OG · rank 178
They talked themselves into Tyler Cooper at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 95
Malachi Moore at pick 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 110
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to slot 172, and they scooped it up. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 143
Oronde Gadsden II in the 174th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Davin Vann · DE-EDGE · rank 264
Davin Vann at pick No. 190 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 188
A safety of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 328
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
