The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jasheen Davis at the Round 7 slot regardless, 112 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Rourke pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Tetairoa McMillan · WR · rank 5
In the 12th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Kaleb Johnson · RB · rank 41
A slide stopped in pick No. 55, with Kaleb Johnson worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 67
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 12, where Deone Walker graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
R4.16 · Pick 117 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 91
Danny Stutsman at slot 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.23 · Pick 124 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 118
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Hollin Pierce. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Jake Majors · C · rank 107
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in No. 150, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 143
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to pick No. 170, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 146
Taking Robert Spears-Jennings in the 172nd pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 174
No drama and no debate, Dorian Strong went about where he belonged in No. 174. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 186
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cobee Bryant in the 190th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.23 · Pick 201 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 187
They read the board right and JJ Pegues was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 144
They will replay Kurtis Rourke at slot 211 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.26 · Pick 244 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 328
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 361
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jasheen Davis. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
