The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Helm: C-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Gunnar Helm, Round 4, Pick 21, roughly 52 picks past where he belonged.
The Rourke reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach the 44th overall pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick55
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in pick No. 55 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in slot 74 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at No. 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 103rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Tory Horton slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 11 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at pick 113 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 118th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Steal is underselling it; Gunnar Helm at No. 122 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
