Thirty-one other rooms let Ryan Flournoy slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 13. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in the 87th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Dwight McGlothern in the 174th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Steal is underselling it; Curtis Jacobs at slot 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Ryan Flournoy at pick 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jordan Magee in pick No. 244, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
