Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent Round 5, Pick 38 on Patrick Payton, a name most had 59 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Spending an early pick on safety with wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
