Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- 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.
