The Cowboys let Torrence fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ro Torrence, the No. 179 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 216.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Drue Tranquill leading the way.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jackson Powers-Johnson and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 31
In pick 32 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 49
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 56 with a little surplus value in Junior Colson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 70
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 24 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · DJ James · CB · rank 81
A slide stopped in the 92nd overall pick, with DJ James worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 105
Audric Estime in the 95th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
Taking Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Ro Torrence · CB · rank 179
They barely believed it either: Ro Torrence still on the board at No. 216. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 203
You do not let a wide receiver like Ryan Flournoy reach slot 233 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 219
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Sheridan Jones in pick No. 244, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 227
A running back of that caliber at the 246th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
