Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Horton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 11 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Tory Horton, the No. 110 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 12 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
No drama and no debate, T.J. Sanders went about where he belonged in pick No. 44. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in slot 76, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 149th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid sticker price for JJ Pegues in the 170th overall pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in No. 171 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Circle this one: Kurtis Rourke at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in Round 6, Pick 12 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
