Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jared Wilson got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at slot 211.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting West proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, with Luther Burden III leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.24 · Pick 24 · Luther Burden III · WR · rank 13
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luther Burden III at pick 24. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
Jalon Walker in No. 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 18
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 70
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach slot 116 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
Jake Majors at the 150th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.13 · Pick 152 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at Round 5, Pick 13 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 104
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 170, and they pounced on premier safety value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 120
Terrance Ferguson at Round 5, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 185
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 174th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · CJ West · DT · rank 216
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in the 190th pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 108
They will replay Jared Wilson at pick No. 211 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.16 · Pick 234 · Jay Higgins · LB · rank 134
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at pick 234. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.17 · Pick 235 · RJ Harvey · RB · rank 170
Circle this one: RJ Harvey at slot 235 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 175
A running back of that caliber at No. 249 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
