The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Jalen Green, the No. 212 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 25 like a gift left on the doorstep.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
In the 24th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Fair-plus on Jalen McMillan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Circle this one: Ty'Ron Hopper at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Rasheen Ali at the 198th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Braiden McGregor at pick No. 212 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Jalen Green at pick 245 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
