A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Roman Wilson; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 24 spots ahead at pick No. 90.

The Sawyer pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, quarterback and other spots still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 27 they get a premier pass rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jack Sawyer adds an edge rusher and leaves linebacker, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
They let Jaylin Simpson come to them and pounced at slot 89. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roman Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Nelson this early at Round 4, Pick 26. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
