Thirty-one other rooms let Ollie Gordon II slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the 247th pick. Highway robbery. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They will need Hemingway to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.12 · Pick 44 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 16
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 18
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in No. 51, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 44
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick 76 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 39
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at slot 87. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 86
They will replay Danny Stutsman at the 148th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 174
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 224
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at Round 5, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.34 · Pick 171 · Michael Taaffe · S · rank 149
Michael Taaffe at the 171st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 219
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Xavier Nwankpa · S · rank 189
Circle this one: Xavier Nwankpa at Round 6, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Ollie Gordon II · RB · rank 163
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in slot 247, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
