The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Johnny Dixon, the No. 181 name on the board, in pick No. 213.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th pick they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
The board had Chris Braswell higher than pick No. 56, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luke McCaffrey at pick 173. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Johnny Dixon at the 213th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Good price on Rasheen Ali in slot 231, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
They took Jordan Magee at par in No. 242, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
