Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Barryn Sorrell at the 211th pick is 101 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The Bowman Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They did well to land Tetairoa McMillan in No. 12, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick 44 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They took Carson Schwesinger at par in Round 3, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They will replay Hollin Pierce at slot 150 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They paid a round early for Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 172nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing JJ Pegues in the 190th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at pick No. 211. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick249 Rnd7 Logan Parr
No drama and no debate, Logan Parr went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 31. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
