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…

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!

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…

A Dallas firefighter was taken to the hospital after being injured in a house fire near Fair Park early Friday, officials confirmed.
Dallas Fire-Rescue told CBS News Texas that at about 1:50 a.m., crews were called to the blaze at a home in the 2600 block of Birmingham Avenue. When they arrived, fire was seen at the back of the residence.
DFR said one man was inside when the fire started, but he was able to make it out safely.
Firefighters reportedly deployed hand lines and began an offensive attack, working for almost an hour before extinguishing the fire. During the operation, one firefighter suffered a minor injury and was transported to the hospital for evaluation.
DFR said the cause of the fire is being investigated, and the American Red Cross was notified and will help the man who lived inside the home.
The Minnesota Wild (3-2) took a 3-2 series lead with a 4-2 win over the Dallas Stars (2-2) in Dallas on Tuesday.
Game 6 is set for Thursday back in Minnesota at 6:30.
In Game 5, Stars’ captain Jamie Benn was at it again with his behind-the-play antics.

Benn, 36, has zero points in five games and is a minus-5. He has just one goal in his last 23 playoff games.
The NHL Department of Player Safety announced on Wednesday that they have fined Benn $2,604.17, the maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for cross-checking Wild forward Ryan Hartman during Game 5 of the teams’ First Round series in Dallas
The incident occurred at 14:45 of the third period. Benn was assessed a minor penalty for cross-checking.
Hartman was assessed a minor for unsportsmanlike conduct. This is the sixth cross-check Benn has delivered with full force. It was the first one that resulted in a penalty and the first one that resulted in the NHL taking notice.

But that slap on the wrist of $2,604.17 won’t stop Benn’s antics. He has been fined or suspended in four out of the last five playoffs. He was suspended in 2023 for cross-checking.
Fining him $2,604.17 isn’t an acceptable justification for this decision and will only allow him to continue this.

Before The Boys, Chace Crawford Starred In A Dallas-Esque Drama With Don Johnson – TVLine
From the golden boy charm of heartthrob Nate Archibald to the bizarre sea-creature fetishes of the Deep, Chace Crawford’s career has been defined by two iconic and wildly different roles. But there’s another big part sandwiched between those two you might’ve forgotten about.
Four years before he joined the blood- and carnage-filled world of “The Boys” — currently in the midst of its skull-crushing fifth and final season — he took part in a short-lived “Dallas”-esque primetime soap opera called “Blood & Oil” starring opposite Don Johnson of ’80s “Miami Vice” fame.
Set during the present-day oil boom in North Dakota, 2015’s “Blood & Oil” follows Billy LeFever (Crawford), an ambitious working man who relocates to the bustling town of Rock Springs with his wife, Cody (Rebecca Rittenhouse), to try their luck in the black gold business. But drama soon unfolds after he engages in risky dealings with a swindling oil tycoon named Hap Briggs (Johnson).
Crawford signed up for the role just three years after “Gossip Girl” and he opened up to People about why he was excited to tackle the opportunity.
“It was a great situation, and I get to play a completely different character than the one I portrayed for six years,” he told the outlet. “It’s nice to be able to play something that’s closer to home for me. And to not have to shave my face off every day.”
Blood & Oil was not renewed for a second season due to poor ratings
“Blood & Oil” mostly scored mixed to average reviews (it has a 63% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a lower 40% audience score). Some critics brushed it off as just another pale “Dallas” wannabe, while others found Crawford’s presence insufficiently commanding for the lead role.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, behind-the-scenes clashes resulted in a last-minute showrunner swap, and ABC reduced its original order of 13 episodes down to 10 during its run, which didn’t bode well. The outlet also reported that “Blood & Oil” opened with a modest 6.3 million total viewers which eventually dwindled to 3.1 million and a 0.7 rating by the time the final episode of “Blood & Oil” aired. The series was not renewed for a second season.
If you want to check out all 10 episodes of the show, they’re currently only available for purchase on Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and Apple TV.
