The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took KJ Jefferson at pick No. 249 regardless, 100 picks early.

Cornelius at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the 12th pick they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 48
Tre Harris in pick 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 74
They took Omarr Norman-Lott at par in pick No. 76, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 114
Ajani Cornelius at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 203
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Kiser. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 244
DJ Campbell in the 172nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 143
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 174 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 188
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Reed at the 190th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 205
A clean, defensible pick in the 211th pick with a little surplus value in Jordan Hancock. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 349
A swing that ignored the value entirely, KJ Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
