FutureB-
Judkins should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B. The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 69 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 31.
The Jennings reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Grover Stewart gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In pick 17 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at No. 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 49th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They did well to land Jayden Higgins in the 76th pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. is a better player than Round 4, Pick 16 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at slot 148 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in pick No. 170 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at Round 5, Pick 36 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in No. 186 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191
Rnd6
Ben Yurosek
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Yurosek this early at pick 191. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at pick No. 248. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
