Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

Some picks age like wine; Barryn Sorrell at No. 211 will need to, sitting 104 spots clear of his grade.

Hudson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to slot 44. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 76th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They read the board right and Pat Bryant was the payoff at the 150th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in pick No. 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick 172 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Value with a capital V on Dorian Strong in slot 174, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They robbed the room for Jack Nelson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
A real head-scratcher, Barryn Sorrell in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kobe Hudson in the 249th pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
