Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Cowboys will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.
The Newton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick-by-Pick
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at the 33rd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 56 with a little surplus value in Kiran Amegadjie. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick 65, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A tidy bit of business in the 97th overall pick, where Josh Newton graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
The board had cheaper options than James Williams at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A quiet steal in No. 170: Sincere Haynesworth for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 5, Pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Delmar Glaze in pick No. 173 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Gabe Hall at pick 213 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
The board had Jase McClellan higher than slot 242, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
