HR DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Barryn Sorrell at No. 211 is 117 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
On value alone, Gabriel makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
By-the-book stuff, Matthew Golden at the 45th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A straight-up fair deal on Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 76, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 4, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 150 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at pick 170 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172
Rnd5
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in the 172nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
Taking Dillon Gabriel in the 174th pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at No. 190 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick 211 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249
Rnd7
Clay Webb
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 31. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
