The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Jake Majors, the No. 92 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting White III proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 12th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Jihaad Campbell in No. 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at the 170th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A wild overpay on Ricky White III in pick No. 173, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
