Dallas Cowboys

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Future B-

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 170th pick on Tyler Batty, a name most had 134 spots down the list. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

On value alone, Judkins makes the weekend a net positive. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 18
In slot 16 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 32
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaiah Bond at the 46th pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 21
They will replay Jalon Walker at No. 47 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 52
They barely believed it either: Tate Ratledge still on the board at the 76th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.14 · Pick 115 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 69
Quinshon Judkins at Round 4, Pick 14 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 85
The board fumbled Sebastian Castro all the way to pick No. 116, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Tommi Hill · CB · rank 125
Steal is underselling it; Tommi Hill at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.13 · Pick 150 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 114
Taking Cam Skattebo in the 150th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Kobe King · LB · rank 126
They robbed the room for Kobe King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Tyler Batty · DE-EDGE · rank 304
Tyler Batty at the 170th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 194
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at slot 173. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 228
They reached into another round for Tonka Hemingway, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Joey Slackman · DL · rank 282
A big swing on Joey Slackman at No. 209, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.26 · Pick 242 · Maxen Hook · S · rank 232
Maxen Hook at pick 242 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Graham Mertz · QB · rank 308
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Graham Mertz. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
