Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a D to match. The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Barryn Sorrell, taking him 156 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
The Kiser steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 15th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in slot 33 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to the 34th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Good price on Azareye'h Thomas in No. 65, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 67 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They paid a round early for Ozzy Trapilo in the 76th overall pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Willie Lampkin. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 117 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Damien Martinez at the 170th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at Round 5, Pick 33, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174
Rnd5
Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the 190th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
The board fumbled JJ Pegues all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in pick No. 221 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 249th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
