Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Sebastian Castro, the No. 90 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 209.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
The back end got a real overhaul.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 14th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. More want than need.
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at No. 45 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
They read the board right and Alfred Collins was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Deontae Lawson at pick 151 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at slot 168 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 171 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A safety of that caliber at the 190th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Sebastian Castro at slot 209 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
