The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Tyler Guyton slide 30 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.7 · Pick 39 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
They let Keon Coleman come to them and pounced at pick No. 39. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
They did well to land Graham Barton in No. 56, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to the 70th pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 83
Braden Fiske at slot 87 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 84
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Newton in Round 3, Pick 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 122
The board had cheaper options than Sataoa Laumea at the 114th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · James Williams · S · rank 134
They jumped the gun on James Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in No. 155. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Cedric Johnson · DE-EDGE · rank 160
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 38, with Cedric Johnson worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
Jawhar Jordan at pick 212 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nathaniel Watson in the 245th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
