Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Jasheen Davis at the Round 7 slot, roughly 92 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ransom. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 44 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Will Howard at No. 76 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Cody Simon at the 150th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A reach for Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Taking Tommi Hill in the 172nd pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach pick 174 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Hayden Conner in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Carson Vinson at Round 6, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A big swing on Jasheen Davis at the 249th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
