Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Barryn Sorrell, 103 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Schwesinger. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty slipping to the 12th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in pick No. 44, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 12 is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
You do not let a linebacker like Carson Schwesinger reach slot 150 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Taking Kurtis Rourke in No. 172 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They read the board right and Dorian Strong was the payoff at pick 173. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They barely believed it either: Emery Jones Jr. still on the board at the 174th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A tidy bit of business in the 190th overall pick, where Connor Colby graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in slot 211 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 236 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
