Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

Some picks age like wine; Barryn Sorrell at the 211th overall pick will need to, sitting 117 spots clear of his grade. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Moore. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in Round 2, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Taking Charles Grant in slot 150 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 152nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 177 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Reed in pick 190; it is a wash and a sensible one. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in the 211th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser is a better player than the 220th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at slot 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
