Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Tuten: A-.

Future A

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until the 204th pick, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The cost of the Martin reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The J.K. Dobbins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jalon Walker and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 23
In No. 22 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 16
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the 44th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 65
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and slot 76 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.23 · Pick 125 · Jacob Parrish · CB · rank 118
Good price on Jacob Parrish in pick 125, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Kurtis Rourke · QB · rank 137
Circle this one: Kurtis Rourke at Round 5, Pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.36 · Pick 174 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 180
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dont'e Thornton Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 204 · Bhayshul Tuten · RB · rank 155
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 204 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
R6.35 · Pick 211 · Nazir Stackhouse · DL · rank 205
Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.2 · Pick 218 · Carson Vinson · OT · rank 224
They paid sticker price for Carson Vinson in pick No. 218, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Jaylin Lane · WR · rank 223
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Lane at the 239th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Nick Martin · LB · rank 276
Value said wait; Nick Martin in No. 247 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
