The Cowboys bet big and early on Phillip Webb, 117 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the Round 1 slot they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · JT Tuimoloau · DE-EDGE · rank 58
JT Tuimoloau in the 44th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 23
Taking Kenneth Grant in pick 49 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at slot 76 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · Savion Williams · WR · rank 112
They did well to land Savion Williams in No. 118, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 116
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 148, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 100
They will replay Nicholas Singleton at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 106
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.34 · Pick 171 · Phillip Webb · DL-EDGE · rank 288
This one needs a full-page explanation: Phillip Webb in slot 171, miles early. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
