Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
F
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureF
The board had answers; the Cowboys had Sorey Jr.. Grade: F. Some picks age like wine; Xavian Sorey Jr. at pick 243 will need to, sitting 115 spots clear of his grade. It bottoms out at a F.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Lee III pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 20th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Max Iheanachor
In pick 30 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Joshua Josephs
In the 32nd overall pick they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick34
Rnd2
Chris Brazzell II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Brazzell II in slot 34. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
A reach on Gennings Dunker in pick No. 35; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
Good price on Chris Johnson in Round 2, Pick 4, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Value with a capital V on Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57
Rnd2
Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 57th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick61
Rnd2
Christen Miller
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Christen Miller in pick 61, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66
Rnd3
Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at the 66th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
They did well to land Michael Taaffe in slot 74, just ahead of his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Josiah Trotter
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 75 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Rodriguez at No. 78 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Domonique Orange for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
No edge and no loss on Darrell Jackson Jr. in No. 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92
Rnd3
Caden Curry
Caden Curry at slot 92 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick93
Rnd3
Max Klare
You do not let a tight end like Max Klare reach pick No. 93 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malik Muhammad in pick 99. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in the 102nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick103
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.C. Davis well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tyreak Sapp
They paid a round early for Tyreak Sapp in Round 4, Pick 4, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jack Endries
They paid sticker price for Jack Endries in pick No. 107, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the 108th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in No. 109 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mikail Kamara
A wild overpay on Mikail Kamara in the 111th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaytron Allen in pick 115, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Carson Beck
Taking Carson Beck in Round 4, Pick 25 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at slot 127 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Chris McClellan
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris McClellan. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131
Rnd4
Malachi Lawrence
They paid up for Malachi Lawrence at pick 131 when waiting would have done the job. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick132
Rnd4
Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in pick No. 132 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133
Rnd4
Malik Benson
They took Malik Benson at par in No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kevin Coleman Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kevin Coleman Jr. this early at the 134th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136
Rnd4
J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at slot 136 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 4, Pick 38 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in pick No. 140 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142
Rnd5
Keagen Trost
The board had cheaper options than Keagen Trost at Round 5, Pick 4, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kaleb Proctor
They reached a country mile for Kaleb Proctor at the 144th pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick147
Rnd5
Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at slot 147 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in the 150th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156
Rnd5
Louis Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Louis Moore at No. 156, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick157
Rnd5
Will Lee III
They robbed the room for Will Lee III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman at pick 159 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick172
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 172nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick177
Rnd5
Ephesians Prysock
They liked Ephesians Prysock enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 39. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178
Rnd5
VJ Payne
They jumped the gun on VJ Payne, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick181
Rnd6
Dae'Quan Wright
No drama and no debate, Dae'Quan Wright went about where he belonged in the 181st overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194
Rnd6
Matt Gulbin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Matt Gulbin at the Round 6 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jadon Canady
A conviction pick on Jadon Canady at No. 198 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204
Rnd6
Zane Durant
Zane Durant at slot 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206
Rnd6
Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at the 206th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeff Caldwell a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Zavion Thomas
They went early on Zavion Thomas in Round 6, Pick 36, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jaren Kanak
A reach for Jaren Kanak in pick No. 216; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217
Rnd7
Thaddeus Dixon
A straight-up fair deal on Thaddeus Dixon at slot 217, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218
Rnd7
Terion Stewart
Nice patience on Terion Stewart, who had no business lasting to the 218th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221
Rnd7
Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at No. 221 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jimmy Rolder
A tidy little value on Jimmy Rolder in the 225th pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Keyshaun Elliott
They let Keyshaun Elliott come to them and pounced at slot 227. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in Round 7, Pick 14 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
A big swing on Marvin Jones Jr. at pick No. 237, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick242
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Xavian Sorey Jr. in the 243rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244
Rnd7
Cole Payton
Fair-plus on Cole Payton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
A clean, defensible pick in pick 246 with a little surplus value in Diego Pavia. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251
Rnd7
Riley Nowakowski
They talked themselves into Riley Nowakowski at the 251st pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in Round 7, Pick 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick255
Rnd7
Fernando Carmona
They reached into another round for Fernando Carmona, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
