The Ahmed Hassanein selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 76 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
The Jones Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tetairoa McMillan in No. 34, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarion Hampton at the 44th overall pick is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A big swing on Ahmed Hassanein at slot 149, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 170 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.
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in the 171st pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Quincy Riley in pick No. 174 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 188 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Taking Cobee Bryant in pick 211 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They robbed the room for Theo Wease Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
