Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Barryn Sorrell as overpay for him, 124 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Bowman Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 76th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A premium they did not need to pay, Jake Majors a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
A reach for Jaeden Roberts in slot 148; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
No edge and no loss on Willie Lampkin in No. 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 173 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick186 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Phillip Webb well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick209 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
They talked themselves into Roc Taylor at the 209th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at Round 7, Pick 31 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
