Grand theft in the 204th overall pick: the Cowboys steal Jackson and grade out a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Donovan Jackson slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the 204th pick. Highway robbery.

Every board in the league had Davis lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 12 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at Round 2, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the 171st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
By-the-book stuff, Nohl Williams at the 174th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Donovan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Donovan Jackson still on the board at No. 204. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jackson Slater
The board fumbled Jackson Slater all the way to slot 211, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They paid sticker price for Ty Hamilton in No. 239, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
They reached a country mile for Jasheen Davis at the 247th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
