Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 170th overall pick: the Cowboys steal Rourke and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kurtis Rourke had no business being available in No. 170, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No drama and no debate, JT Tuimoloau went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 12. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Nash at the 150th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in pick 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick No. 172 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A quiet steal in the 174th overall pick: Chase Lundt for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A straight-up fair deal on Nazir Stackhouse at slot 190, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A tidy bit of business in No. 211, where Jack Kiser graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Torricelli Simpkins III. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
