Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 117 picks early on Barryn Sorrell, and the board is going to hold them to it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Starks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 12th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in No. 44 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They read the board right and Demetrius Knight Jr. was the payoff at pick 76. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
They talked themselves into Cam Jackson at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in Round 5, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaishawn Barham well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jason Marshall Jr. this early at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Fair-plus on JJ Pegues, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in slot 211 says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at No. 249 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
