Grand theft in the 171st overall pick: the Cowboys steal Winston Jr. and grade out a B+. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 98 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 171.
They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in No. 50. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach slot 76 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jack Bech
They robbed the room for Jack Bech here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Nice patience on Ty Robinson, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 171st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
The board had Ajani Cornelius higher than pick No. 174, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jay Higgins in Round 6, Pick 9, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Jackson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in slot 211 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
A straight-up fair deal on Tonka Hemingway at the 247th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
