A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jasheen Davis; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 109 spots ahead at slot 247.

Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 12. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 76th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Circle this one: Cody Simon at No. 149 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A quiet steal in pick 171: Tommi Hill for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at pick No. 174 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
They barely believed it either: Willie Lampkin still on the board at pick 204. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 211 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They read the board right and Cam Jackson was the payoff at the 239th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jasheen Davis. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
