Cant help but feel good for Jaylon. Bold pick by the Cowboys but apparently their team doctor performed the surgery so guess they would know more than anybody.
Not good. Prior to Jack's injuries those would have been 2 of the Top 10 players in the Draft. Intriguing team moving forward.

I don't understand the Raiders Jihad Ward pick. More of an eventual 5 technique I suppose, but so raw for a 2nd round pick. Shillique Calhoun a 3rd down QB chaser.
This draft, at the very least, has had some interesting story lines. The Tunsil story. The Cowboys drafting Smith (a feel good story, but helped by the owner being the GM so able to make that gamble). The Jack story. Conner dropping like a rock. Miller going in the third. Brissett going to the Pats (hmm?). Kicker going so high.
Day 3 where really good drafting teams show up for the " diamonds in the rough" . GM's can solidify their squad or waste away late round picks.
