Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody else had Barryn Sorrell anywhere near the Round 5 slot. The Cowboys did, by 140 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Neal steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
They paid up for Cameron Williams at Round 1, Pick 19 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 51 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Value with a capital V on Jalen Royals in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 119 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Nice patience on Lathan Ransom, who had no business lasting to pick 120. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in the 148th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to pick 156, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 170th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at pick No. 173 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
