The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 92 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 13.
Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 12 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Omarion Hampton in the 76th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jake Majors in pick No. 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in slot 168 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Simeon Barrow Jr.. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They talked themselves into Kobe Hudson at the 171st pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Miles Frazier at slot 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
PJ Williams in pick 209 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Thor Griffith in the 247th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
