Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Barryn Sorrell, 103 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Schwesinger. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Ashton Jeanty slipping to the 12th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 19
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in pick No. 44, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jalen Royals · WR · rank 62
Jalen Royals slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 12 is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 83
You do not let a linebacker like Carson Schwesinger reach slot 150 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 135
Taking Kurtis Rourke in No. 172 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.34 · Pick 173 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 163
They read the board right and Dorian Strong was the payoff at pick 173. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Emery Jones Jr. · OT · rank 124
They barely believed it either: Emery Jones Jr. still on the board at the 174th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Connor Colby · OG · rank 173
A tidy bit of business in the 190th overall pick, where Connor Colby graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 314
Barryn Sorrell in slot 211 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.18 · Pick 236 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 199
Jordan Hancock at No. 236 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 253
Tonka Hemingway at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
