FutureA
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The Cowboys spent real capital to be 100 picks early on Barryn Sorrell, and the board is going to hold them to it. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
That Thornton Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
A tidy little value on Tetairoa McMillan in No. 15, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
The board fumbled Kenneth Grant all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 76th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 4, Pick 15 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jordan James
Taking Jordan James in slot 150 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in pick No. 152 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 170th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
They will replay Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
They paid a round early for Jordan Hancock in No. 190, more than the board wanted. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick211
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick244
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Circle this one: Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 244 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Logan Parr
They took Logan Parr at par in pick No. 249, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
