The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Jalen McLeod, 35 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton is a better player than No. 44 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Fair-plus on Deone Walker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 91: Chris Paul Jr. for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 137th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Logan Brown. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommi Hill at pick No. 171 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jalen McLeod
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen McLeod this early at slot 174. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick204
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing KeAndre Lambert-Smith in No. 204. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Good price on Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
They did well to land Cam Jackson in the 236th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson slipping to the 239th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247
Rnd7
John Williams
John Williams at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
