Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Majors slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the 171st pick. Highway robbery.
If Moore pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
They did well to land Mason Graham in the 11th pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Derrick Moore this early at pick 75. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Kaleb Johnson at the 149th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 169 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Davison Igbinosun at No. 170 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No drama and no debate, Gunnar Helm went about where he belonged in pick No. 186. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A big swing on Thor Griffith at Round 6, Pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
