Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
F
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureF
A weekend the Cowboys spent ahead of the board, for worse: F. The Barryn Sorrell pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 125 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Martinez. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick26
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In slot 26 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 31 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 39th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
They did well to land Kaleb Johnson in No. 44, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 66th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
By-the-book stuff, Omarr Norman-Lott at slot 72 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Savion Williams
A big swing on Savion Williams at pick No. 76, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jack Nelson
They paid a round early for Jack Nelson in the 116th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Riley Leonard
They will replay Riley Leonard at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at the 150th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in No. 172 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
Good price on Xavier Scott in Round 5, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190
Rnd6
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at pick 190 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in Round 6, Pick 16 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A slide stopped in pick 202, with Dont'e Thornton Jr. worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jaishawn Barham
They talked themselves into Jaishawn Barham at the 204th pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 216th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
They reached a country mile for DJ Campbell at slot 217, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
