Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys won the night they stopped Judkins from sliding. Grade: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Quinshon Judkins tumbling to the Cowboys in pick No. 150 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They will need Williams to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Xavier Worthy deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 11
In No. 15 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 12
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to the 117th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.13 · Pick 150 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 70
Taking Quinshon Judkins in slot 150 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 90
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.35 · Pick 172 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 108
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 172nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.37 · Pick 174 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 142
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at pick 174 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.26 · Pick 201 · Ja'Corey Brooks · WR · rank 215
Ja'Corey Brooks at pick No. 201 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.36 · Pick 211 · Jahvaree Ritzie · DL · rank 245
Jahvaree Ritzie at No. 211 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Nohl Williams · CB · rank 260
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nohl Williams this early at the 220th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.33 · Pick 249 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 286
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the 249th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
