The Cowboys let Thrash fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jamari Thrash, the No. 92 name on the board, in slot 124. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 56th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
The board fumbled Javon Bullard all the way to No. 87, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jamari Thrash in the 124th overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Jones a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in Round 6, Pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jennings in pick 245, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
