Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Barryn Sorrell, 103 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Hill falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Grover Stewart gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Nothing to complain about; Tetairoa McMillan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in pick 44, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Nice patience on Omarr Norman-Lott, who had no business lasting to the 80th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in slot 150, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
The board had Kurtis Rourke higher than the Round 5 slot, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 174th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A quiet steal in pick No. 190: Jaylen Reed for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick249 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
They reached a country mile for Eric Gregory at pick 249, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
