When a board-topper like Troy Fautanu slides to the 87th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

They are betting Lewis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
