Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Xavian Sorey Jr. at pick No. 126 regardless, 50 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Shilo Sanders
A conviction pick on Shilo Sanders at the 70th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94 Rnd3 Denver Harris
They reached a country mile for Denver Harris at the 94th pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 102 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Xavian Sorey Jr.
A big swing on Xavian Sorey Jr. at No. 126, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Sanders. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
They paid a round early for Marcus Harris in pick 202, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at slot 216 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Deontae Lawson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Deontae Lawson this early at No. 220. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
A wild overpay on Corey Kiner in pick No. 222, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
