The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint fell into slot 233.
For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
No drama and no debate, Zach Frazier went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They let Max Melton come to them and pounced at slot 90. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They did well to land Blake Corum in No. 91, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
McKinnley Jackson in the 124th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Jamari Thrash at pick No. 133 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Nehemiah Pritchett in pick 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Cornelius Johnson in pick 216, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
You do not let a cornerback like Johnny Dixon reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They will replay Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 233 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Myles Harden at Round 7, Pick 24 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
