Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA
The Cowboys robbed the room for Rourke. Final grade: A-.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kurtis Rourke, the No. 135 name on the board, in slot 204.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Jordan Hicks gives the group a proven body among the projects. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at the 33rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 12 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Trey Amos
The board had Trey Amos higher than the 67th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Somehow Emery Jones Jr. was still sitting there in slot 149, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
You do not let a quarterback like Kurtis Rourke reach No. 204 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at Round 6, Pick 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick 239 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They will replay Jamon Dumas-Johnson at slot 247 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
