There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Barryn Sorrell a full 141 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That Campbell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In the 12th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 21
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach pick 44 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 30
Omarion Hampton at the 76th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 289
Barryn Sorrell at slot 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 109
They robbed the room for Luke Kandra here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 38
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson · OT · rank 259
They reached into another round for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Billy Bowman Jr. · S · rank 115
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at the 187th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Jaylin Smith · CB · rank 236
Jaylin Smith in pick No. 209 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.16 · Pick 232 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 229
Jake Briningstool in pick 232 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 297
A real head-scratcher, KJ Jefferson in No. 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
