Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
Thornton Jr. should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Dont'e Thornton Jr., the No. 179 name on the board, sitting there at the 249th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every board in the league had Stutsman lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Danny Stutsman
A wild overpay on Danny Stutsman in the Round 1 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Taking Sebastian Castro in the 150th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at pick No. 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Steal is underselling it; LeQuint Allen at the 172nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Tommi Hill in pick 174, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
You do not let a wide receiver like Pat Bryant reach No. 190 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 211 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
They robbed the room for JJ Pegues here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 249th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
