HR DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

The Cowboys robbed the room for Felton. Final grade: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Tai Felton at slot 149 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Vinson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 12th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
A quiet steal in pick No. 76: Quinshon Judkins for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tai Felton
They barely believed it either: Tai Felton still on the board at slot 149. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kobe King
Taking Kobe King in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed is a better player than Round 6, Pick 21 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204
Rnd6
CJ West
Value with a capital V on CJ West in the 204th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
A tidy little value on Joshua Gray in No. 208, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
They went early on Carson Vinson in the 211th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Que Robinson
The board fumbled Que Robinson all the way to No. 239, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick247
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick 247 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
