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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Barryn Sorrell at Round 7, Pick 31 is 62 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Shough pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A reach on Alfred Collins in pick No. 44; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals slid further than he should have, and the 76th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cody Simon
A tidy bit of business in pick 150, where Cody Simon graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They took Chase Lundt at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Taking Tyler Shough in the 172nd pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylen Reed in No. 190. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
They talked themselves into Jake Briningstool at Round 6, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. It adds depth where they could use a little.
