You build a draft on nights like this. Danny Stutsman had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 31, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They will need Hemingway to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the 20th overall pick they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Tyleik Williams · DT · rank 54
Tyleik Williams at the 46th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Trey Amos · CB · rank 58
No edge and no loss on Trey Amos in pick No. 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Savion Williams · WR · rank 111
They reached a country mile for Savion Williams at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 117
Jack Nelson in pick 115 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 81
Deontae Lawson in No. 116 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 92
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 5, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.13 · Pick 150 · Tahj Brooks · RB · rank 115
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to slot 150, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 229
Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 170 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Billy Bowman Jr. · S · rank 112
Steal is underselling it; Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
