Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Barryn Sorrell at Round 5, Pick 33 will need to, sitting 143 spots clear of his grade.

Getting Giddens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 12th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A premium they did not need to pay, Danny Stutsman a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 150 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chase Lundt in No. 170. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in pick No. 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had Dont'e Thornton Jr. higher than the 190th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Taking DJ Giddens in pick 211 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A wild overpay on Shilo Sanders in No. 249, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
