The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Dontay Corleone slide 25 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every board in the league had Crownover lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In pick No. 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.31 · Pick 31 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
In pick 31 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · D'Angelo Ponds · CB · rank 47
D'Angelo Ponds in the 40th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
They will replay Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 74th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Dontay Corleone · DT · rank 67
They barely believed it either: Dontay Corleone still on the board at Round 3, Pick 28. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Malik Muhammad · CB · rank 99
By-the-book stuff, Malik Muhammad at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 93
Somehow Bryce Lance was still sitting there in No. 112, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 143
A big swing on Dametrious Crownover at slot 125, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Tim Keenan III · DT · rank 151
They took Tim Keenan III at par in Round 5, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.37 · Pick 177 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 186
A conviction pick on Jeff Caldwell at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.40 · Pick 180 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 176
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at No. 180 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.2 · Pick 218 · Jaren Kanak · TE · rank 221
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaren Kanak. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
