If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Jaylan Ford at pick 126 is 51 spots clear of where he belonged.

On value alone, Jackson makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
