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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Barryn Sorrell in Round 6, Pick 33. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That Spears-Jennings pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at slot 44 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. slipping to Round 3, Pick 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in the 150th pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at pick 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick172 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at Round 5, Pick 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 190 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
A big swing on Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 211, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick249 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in the 249th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
