The Cowboys bet big and early on Gerry Bohanon, 184 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

However the rest shakes out, Skattebo at that price is a win they earned. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
In No. 18 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 27
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 31
A quiet steal in slot 44: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 22
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the 72nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 60
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 76 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Savion Williams · WR · rank 107
A wild overpay on Savion Williams in pick No. 82, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.19 · Pick 120 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 140
Hayden Conner in the 120th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.10 · Pick 147 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 96
They robbed the room for Mason Taylor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 114
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Daylen Everette in No. 148, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 168
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 168 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 109
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 120
They will replay Cody Simon at pick 173 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 181
Jordan Hancock at the 209th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Gerry Bohanon · QB · rank 432
Value said wait; Gerry Bohanon in pick No. 248 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
