Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Isaiah Davis got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 230.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Cooper Beebe at No. 56 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 95 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Will Shipley is a better player than the 119th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Steal is underselling it; James Williams at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 38 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
You do not let a wide receiver like Anthony Gould reach pick 195 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They robbed the room for Isaiah Davis here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Somehow Isaiah Williams was still sitting there in pick 232, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They barely believed it either: Justin Rogers still on the board at the 233rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
The board fumbled Ro Torrence all the way to pick No. 244, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
