Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Barryn Sorrell, 77 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

On value alone, Helm makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A premium they did not need to pay, Alfred Collins a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in slot 116, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach pick 150 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They did well to land Chase Lundt in the 170th pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in the 172nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They will replay Vernon Broughton at the 174th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Steal is underselling it; Kurtis Rourke at slot 190 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
They paid up for Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 211 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at No. 234. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
