Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Barryn Sorrell a full 141 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That Campbell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach pick 44 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 76th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at slot 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They robbed the room for Luke Kandra here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They reached into another round for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at the 187th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith in pick No. 209 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick 232 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, KJ Jefferson in No. 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
