The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent Round 5, Pick 32 on Que Robinson, a name the board had a full 81 spots lower. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.
That Reid pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 20 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
You do not let a wide receiver like Luther Burden III reach the 44th overall pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than pick No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slid further than he should have, and pick 82 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
A running back of that caliber at the 149th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Que Robinson
A big swing on Que Robinson at Round 5, Pick 32, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
They took Quincy Riley at par in slot 171, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
By-the-book stuff, Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 185 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Logan Brown
They will replay Logan Brown at No. 188 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylen Reed at the 191st overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Seth McLaughlin. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Karene Reid
Karene Reid at pick 247 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
