Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent pick No. 233 on J.J. Weaver, a name the board had a full 84 spots lower. Put together, it is a D-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Adding Malik Willis by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In pick 7 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 32
In the 25th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 48
A reach for Jonathon Brooks in No. 38; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 24, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 87th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 183
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at Round 4, Pick 32, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III at No. 173 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 196
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jase McClellan well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
A conviction pick on Curtis Jacobs at the 182nd pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
A wild overpay on Bub Means in slot 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 317
They reached into another round for J.J. Weaver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 261
The board had cheaper options than Ryan Watts at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
