Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Barryn Sorrell at Round 5, Pick 32 regardless, 122 picks early. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
Perkins Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback and tight end went begging.
Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In slot 7 they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
They took Will Campbell at par in the 12th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 38th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick43
Rnd2
Drew Allar
Value said wait; Drew Allar in No. 43 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A reach on Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74
Rnd3
Tai Felton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tai Felton this early at pick 74. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaxson Dart in Round 3, Pick 32, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 105 on Kevin Winston Jr. with cornerback and tight end unsolved.
Pick113
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nicholas Singleton at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Taking Danny Stutsman in slot 148 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 168th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick 170 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick171
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
They talked themselves into Barryn Sorrell at No. 171, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick186
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at the 186th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209
Rnd6
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
