Devonshire should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. M.J. Devonshire tumbling to the Cowboys in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In the 25th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 46
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at slot 56. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
They will replay Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 88 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 158
A slide stopped in pick 174, with Hunter Nourzad worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 169
Somehow Dillon Johnson was still sitting there in No. 202, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 182
Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 6, Pick 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 196
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 233rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 228
They let Nathan Thomas come to them and pounced at pick 244. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 192
They barely believed it either: M.J. Devonshire still on the board at Round 7, Pick 25. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
