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

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
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.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 52
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.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
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.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 84
Fair-plus on Marist Liufau, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 82
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.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · James Williams · S · rank 135
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.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Sincere Haynesworth · C · rank 162
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.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 160
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.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 180
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.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 218
Gabe Hall at pick 213 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 232
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.
