X (formerly Twitter) reacts to all of the Cowboys action on the final day of the NFL Draft
It was a very long morning/afternoon for Cowboys fans tuning into the third day of the NFL Draft. The entire fourth round came and went without any trades or movement inside of the Cowboys’ war room. It was a struggle for fans watching live, but we eventually made it!
Cowboys are set to twiddle their thumbs to start the third and final day of 2024 draft. Seventy-three picks are scheduled to pass today before their next selection at No. 174 overall in fifth round.
EVP Stephen Jones said team to monitor draft board during long wait. “We’ll…

Looking at roughly 2:30pm CST for the Cowboys’ next scheduled pick at No. 174.

During the fourth round, with the 49er’s selected a new safety with the pick acquired from the Cowboys in the Trey Lance trade.
Cowboys fans also watched as lots of RB options were wiped off of the board.
Finally after hours of waiting, the Dallas Cowboys are on the clock!!
And with the 174th-pick in the NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Caelen Carson!
Not a pressing need at the front of the depth chart (Diggs, Bland, Lewis) but cornerback is an area the Cowboys need more depth. With their first Day 3 pick, 5th round and 174 overall, is Wake Forest CB Caelen Carson.

Ooooooh this a Sneaky Pick.
And Caelen Carson a DMV kid.
Watch his game vs Keon Coleman

Caelen Carson and DJ James were the two best players left, IMO. Carson is a big time steal. Cowboys continue to prioritize value in this draft.

Take a closer look at the newest CB in Dallas:
Caelon Carson -> COWBOYS
– played slot and OCB for Wake Forest
– He is well-trained and solid in man and zone coverage and often shadowed the opponent’s best WR.
– He has the potential to be a solid NFL starter
has lack of ints (bad hands) and durability is a mild concern pic.twitter.com/nQcLVWr4NS

Looks like there could be a new music group in the Cowboys’ secondary.
On to round six!
And with the 216th-pick, the Dallas Cowboys select Ryan Flournoy!
With the 216th pick in the 2024 #NFLDraft, the Dallas Cowboys select:
Ryan Flournoy – WR – SEMO#Cowboys find some speed in the sixth! Can play inside and outside, playmaker for both the offense and possibly as a returner as well. Dallas hunting an extra gear! #CowboysDraft
— Kyle Youmans (@Kyle_Youmans) April 27, 2024
Cowboys drafted former SE Missouri State WR Ryan Flournoy in sixth round at No. 216 overall. Of wide receivers, Flournoy produced the fastest GPS time during position drills at the 2024 combine. The WR who did so in 2023? Puka Nacua.

New Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy on being drafted in sixth round: “I was waiting my whole life for that call.” Didn’t have a 30 visit with team. “Them picking me is the best decision they ever made because they’re getting a hard worker.”

We’ve made it to the final round in the NFL Draft and the Cowboys have two more picks to go!
And with the 233rd-pick, the Dallas Cowboys select Nathan Thomas!
BREAKING: 233rd-overall pick in the 2024 #NFLDraft, the #Cowboys select …
Nathan Thomas, OT, Louisiana
Three offensive linemen picked in this draft by Dallas. They are hellbent on fixing that group.

Cowboys are on a mission to fix the offensive line. Can’t be mad at that

The Cowboys just stole Louisiana OL Nathan Thomas in the seventh round.
— Josh Edwards (@EdwardsCBS) April 27, 2024
Take a closer look at the evaluation of the 223rd-pick:
Nathan Thomas said he didn’t talk with the Cowboys until his pro day and later had a visit with the Cowboys. Thought he was going to be drafted earlier but “Now I get to go in with a bigger chip on my shoulder to prove I belong.”
— Todd Archer (@toddarcher) April 27, 2024
New Cowboys OL Nathan Thomas expects to play guard in Dallas. Seventh-round pick has never played a live rep there. Believes he can make transition. “Is it going to be something I’m going to struggle with? Nah. I don’t think so.”
What team is getting: “Someone who’s going to war…

And with their final pick in the 2024 NFL Draft with pick number 244, the Dallas Cowboys added a big body on the interior of the defensive line by selecting Justin Rogers.
Oooohhh I like this pick too!!
Justin Rogers— Stephen (@BlitzDallas) April 27, 2024
Needed a true 1 tech for depth behind Mazi & they get that w/ Justin Rogers
Plays w/ great leverage, strong hands, hard to move off the ball @1053thefan
— Zach Wolchuk (@ZachWolchuk) April 27, 2024
Justin Rogers is my DL25
Nose Tackle who fills two gaps. Tough at the POA. Run stuffer.
Plays upright. Won’t add much pass rush. A bit lazy and the motor runs cold on 3rd downs.#Cowboys#HallamAnalysis

“I love defending the run. I was taught to never let anybody run up the middle. I protect the middle of the d-line like that’s my house. I don’t want anybody coming into my house! I love stopping the run.”#Cowboys DL Justin Rogers on @TheDraftNetworkhttps://t.co/NA79s5PhbA

That concludes the 2024 NFL Draft! How do you think the Cowboys did with their eight picks?
The Cowboys resolved to get tougher. I think the accomplished that, but we will see.
— ₗₐₙᴰₒₙ (@McCoolBCB) April 27, 2024
Some people think I’m too positive and optimistic about the Cowboys. I don’t see it that way. I’ll call out negative when I see it.
With that being said I give this draft haul an B+
Betcha thought I was giving it an A didn’t you lol.
Nobody’s grades really mean anything. We…
