Thirty-one other rooms let Quinn Ewers slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 17 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot.
Luther Burden III in No. 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No edge and no loss on Marcus Mbow in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They reached a country mile for Brashard Smith at the 76th overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Mason Taylor at the 118th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Rylie Mills is a better player than pick No. 150 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Logan Brown in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in slot 172, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They barely believed it either: Quinn Ewers still on the board at No. 174. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
