Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Taylor: A-.

Future B

You could see the war room lean forward. Mason Taylor at the 172nd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Vita Vea leading the way.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 14
Tyler Warren in the 49th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 30
Omarion Hampton in the 53rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach slot 76 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Joshua Farmer · DT · rank 121
Joshua Farmer in pick No. 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 17 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 185
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 150 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Tyler Cooper · OG · rank 178
They paid up for Tyler Cooper at pick 170 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 82
Somehow Mason Taylor was still sitting there in No. 172, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 91
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at pick 174. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Cam Horsley · DT · rank 221
They reached a country mile for Cam Horsley at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.13 · Pick 191 · Cam Jackson · DT · rank 230
Value said wait; Cam Jackson in Round 6, Pick 13 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Hayden Conner · OG · rank 213
No edge and no loss on Hayden Conner in the 211th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 242
A reasonable price with a little left over, Miles Frazier in pick No. 249. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
