Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Charles Turner III; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 44 spots ahead at the 242nd pick.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Coleman pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

With cornerback, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Payton Wilson
In No. 26 they get a green-dot type in the middle, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 26 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A reach for Trey Benson in pick No. 87; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in slot 127 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They went early on Myles Cole in No. 213, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick231 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick No. 231 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
Value said wait; Charles Turner III in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
