HR DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 112 spots for Jasheen Davis, and value like that does not grow back.
Cornelius at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in the 44th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Kiser well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 172 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
They paid sticker price for Willie Lampkin in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 190th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in pick 211 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
A big swing on Jasheen Davis at No. 249, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
