HR DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

Stutsman should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Danny Stutsman, the No. 91 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 249.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Colby pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In No. 12 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that.
Pick44
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at the 44th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150
Rnd5
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in Round 5, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 170th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Connor Colby
A reach for Connor Colby in pick No. 172; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190
Rnd6
Sebastian Castro
The board fumbled Sebastian Castro all the way to pick 190, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211
Rnd6
Lathan Ransom
Somehow Lathan Ransom was still sitting there in pick No. 211, and they pounced on premier safety value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick249
Rnd7
Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at Round 7, Pick 31. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
