FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B. Nobody else had Tim Smith anywhere near the 190th overall pick. The Cowboys did, by 162 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
The Judkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Fair-plus on Omarion Hampton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 44 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cam Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Jackson in the 170th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach No. 172 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 174, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at slot 181 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190
Rnd6
Tim Smith
They talked themselves into Tim Smith at Round 6, Pick 12, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 211th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Bryson Eason
A wild overpay on Bryson Eason in No. 249, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
