Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Jake Majors, the No. 65 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 209. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
Reaching for Howard left real value on the table behind him. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ashton Jeanty at the Round 1 slot is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
DJ Campbell in the 46th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A real head-scratcher, Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 27 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A big swing on Rylie Mills at No. 98, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in pick No. 99, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Value said wait; Gunnar Helm in pick 149 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
A reach on Cobee Bryant in the 152nd pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They will replay Lathan Ransom at Round 5, Pick 31 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at pick 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
They reached into another round for Will Howard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Rod Moore in No. 172 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach the 186th overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jake Majors in slot 209 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 228 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
