The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Horton: A-.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Tory Horton, the No. 93 name on the board, sitting there at the 126th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Puka Nacua leading the way. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick89 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tory Horton
The board fumbled Tory Horton all the way to slot 126, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
They robbed the room for Luke Lachey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in the 212th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Magee in pick No. 247. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
