The Cowboys bet big and early on Nohl Williams, 90 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Simon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
A slide stopped in No. 12, with Ashton Jeanty worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 91
They paid up for Tez Johnson at pick 76 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 112
Tory Horton at pick No. 115 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Howard Cross III · DL · rank 163
They paid a round early for Howard Cross III in slot 148, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 226
Ty Hamilton in Round 5, Pick 31 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 260
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nohl Williams well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 136
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 258
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 229
DJ Campbell in slot 209 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 269
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in pick 248, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
