Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

The Barryn Sorrell selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 79 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at slot 45 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at the 76th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in Round 5, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
They talked themselves into Tyler Cooper at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick172 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to slot 172, and they scooped it up. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 174th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at pick No. 190 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A safety of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick249 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
