The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at the 237th overall pick regardless, 73 picks early.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kiser. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Walter Nolen in the 25th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A premium they did not need to pay, Demetrius Knight Jr. a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Xavier Restrepo in pick 53 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A tidy little value on TreVeyon Henderson in slot 58, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Charles Grant at pick No. 76 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Andrew Mukuba for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Nice patience on Danny Stutsman, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 7. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Vernon Broughton. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
The board had cheaper options than Willie Lampkin at pick 170, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No edge and no loss on RJ Harvey in pick No. 172; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Darius Alexander at the 174th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A tight end of that caliber at slot 190 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board fumbled Cobee Bryant all the way to No. 211, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They will replay Jack Kiser at slot 249 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
