There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Que Robinson a full 80 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
That Rourke pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Alfred Collins at pick 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Tre Harris in the 74th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at the 76th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They robbed the room for Kobe King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Que Robinson in pick No. 171, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
Steal is underselling it; Kurtis Rourke at pick 174 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
