Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Kyren Lacy, the No. 134 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 190th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If Stackhouse pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.12 · Pick 44 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 42
They paid sticker price for T.J. Sanders in the 44th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 75
They reached a country mile for Tate Ratledge at slot 57, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 74
No drama and no debate, Omarr Norman-Lott went about where he belonged in pick No. 74. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 105
Cam Skattebo at No. 76 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 199
Nazir Stackhouse at the 150th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.25 · Pick 164 · Earnest Greene III · OT · rank 160
Earnest Greene III at Round 5, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 136
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 170 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Karene Reid · LB · rank 194
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Karene Reid. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 185
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 174 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Kyren Lacy · WR · rank 134
Kyren Lacy in pick 190 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 187
JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 205
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to No. 249, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
