The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Ewers: A. The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Quinn Ewers fell into slot 150.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They are betting West proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The veteran additions, Jonathan Taylor chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Emeka Egbuka and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at slot 44 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 56 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 76th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in pick 150 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Hollin Pierce in the 152nd overall pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170
Rnd5
LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at pick No. 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at slot 172 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West at the 190th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193
Rnd6
Alex Mastromanno
A real head-scratcher, Alex Mastromanno in No. 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick206
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
They liked Carson Vinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 206th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211
Rnd6
R.J. Mickens
Fair-plus on R.J. Mickens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick249
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
