The Cowboys let Rourke fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. When a board-topper like Kurtis Rourke slides to pick 190, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Judkins lower, and that gap is the story.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51
Rnd2
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 51st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Good price on Zy Alexander in pick No. 76, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A quiet steal in slot 80: Deone Walker for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 150th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in No. 170 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at pick 172 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in Round 5, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190
Rnd6
Kurtis Rourke
The board fumbled Kurtis Rourke all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Antwane Wells Jr. at pick No. 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Shemar James
Circle this one: Shemar James at No. 249 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
