Grand theft in slot 171: the Cowboys steal Rourke and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kurtis Rourke, the No. 139 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 171.

They are betting Batty proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board had Omarion Hampton higher than the 44th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in No. 76; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They jumped the gun on Tommi Hill, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Taking Kurtis Rourke in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Fair-plus on Chase Lundt, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at pick No. 211. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A premium they did not need to pay, Cody Lindenberg a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Yurosek well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
