Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Barryn Sorrell at the 249th overall pick is 79 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

On value alone, Nelson makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick No. 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Value with a capital V on Deone Walker in No. 76, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King slipping to pick 150 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Steal is underselling it; Jack Nelson at the 170th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 5, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They left a pile of value on the table to take DJ Campbell this early at the 174th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They reached a country mile for Cam Jackson at No. 190, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Value said wait; Jaishawn Barham in pick 211 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at Round 7, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
