Dallas Cowboys

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Skattebo: B.

Future B-

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at No. 209. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Prather reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In No. 12 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 20
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach slot 53 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 67
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Xavier Watts · S · rank 46
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in the 84th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 70
Quinshon Judkins at Round 5, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 87
Carson Schwesinger in pick 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Terrance Ferguson · TE · rank 120
Steal is underselling it; Terrance Ferguson at the 170th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 108
Taking Jared Wilson in pick No. 173 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 148
Jonah Monheim in the 186th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 105
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.19 · Pick 235 · Kaden Prather · WR · rank 252
They went early on Kaden Prather in the 235th pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · James Burnip · P · rank 168
The board fumbled James Burnip all the way to No. 248, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
