The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Tez Johnson, the No. 89 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

Conner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In No. 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
They will replay Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 67
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at the 76th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · Kyren Lacy · WR · rank 134
They paid a round early for Kyren Lacy in the 118th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 89
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tez Johnson in pick 150, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.15 · Pick 154 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 132
Jeffrey Bassa at slot 154 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 129
Emery Jones Jr. at Round 5, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Tommi Hill · CB · rank 137
Tommi Hill in pick No. 172 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 135
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach the 174th pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 216
Value said wait; Hayden Conner in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 175
Ollie Gordon II in Round 6, Pick 33 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · John Williams · OT · rank 246
John Williams in the 249th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
