Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent pick No. 170 on Tyler Batty, a name the board had a full 127 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

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 the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach No. 45 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 55
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Rylie Mills · DL · rank 129
Rylie Mills at slot 115 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 80
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at the 148th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.13 · Pick 150 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 85
Taking Sebastian Castro in Round 5, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Lathan Ransom · S · rank 101
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Tyler Batty · DE-EDGE · rank 297
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Batty. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Seth McLaughlin · C · rank 198
A big swing on Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 173, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 217
Tonka Hemingway at pick 186 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 287
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at the 209th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
R7.16 · Pick 232 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 207
Steal is underselling it; Jake Briningstool at slot 232 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Micah Morris · OG · rank 268
They reached into another round for Micah Morris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
