The Cowboys spent real capital to be 108 picks early on Jasheen Davis, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They banked enough surplus on Leonard to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A slide stopped in pick 12, with Ashton Jeanty worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
No edge and no loss on Tre Harris in the 44th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Fair-plus on Carson Schwesinger, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Circle this one: Dorian Strong at the 149th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Logan Brown at slot 171 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They barely believed it either: Riley Leonard still on the board at pick No. 174. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They let Tyler Cooper come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, John Williams well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They will replay Luke Lachey at No. 239 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They reached a country mile for Jasheen Davis at the 247th pick, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
