B
Dallas Cowboys
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Will Sheppard, 111 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Spears-Jennings. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 13 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 10 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Kenneth Grant at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elic Ayomanor. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Harold Perkins Jr. at pick No. 149 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They went early on Nazir Stackhouse in the 169th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Raheim Sanders at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Quinshon Judkins at the 171st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
The board fumbled Robert Spears-Jennings all the way to No. 186, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Sheppard in pick No. 189, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They talked themselves into Kyren Lacy at the 209th pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
