Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Torrence: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ro Torrence, the No. 177 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They took Trey Benson at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in No. 89 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Somehow Andru Phillips was still sitting there in the 126th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at Round 5, Pick 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They let Jaylan Ford come to them and pounced at the 216th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at slot 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton slipping to the 244th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
