Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The Cowboys overdrafted Sorey Jr. and paid the price. Grade: F.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 126 spots for Xavian Sorey Jr., and value like that does not grow back. It bottoms out at a F.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Getting Hurst where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In slot 12 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21 Rnd1 Max Iheanachor
In the 21st pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the 28th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In No. 31 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ Allen. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the 57th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Thieneman at pick No. 61 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Somehow Omar Cooper Jr. was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 23, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Lucas at pick 89, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Circle this one: Dontay Corleone at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A quiet steal in slot 92: Zakee Wheatley for less than the market said. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick93 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
No edge and no loss on Malik Muhammad in No. 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A tidy bit of business in the 95th overall pick, where Devin Moore graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald in the 97th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick99 Rnd3 Bud Clark
They reached a country mile for Bud Clark at pick 99, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick103 Rnd4 Keyron Crawford
A wild overpay on Keyron Crawford in slot 103, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in No. 116 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in Round 4, Pick 27 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They jumped the gun on Beau Stephens, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
They paid up for Keagen Trost at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A big swing on Matt Gulbin at the 150th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 5, Pick 18 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nate Boerkircher at No. 157. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Fair-plus on Tanner Koziol, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Malik Benson in the 159th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A tidy little value on Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 160th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
They paid sticker price for Kaleb Proctor in slot 162, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A premium they did not need to pay, Kaleb Elarms-Orr a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They took Bryce Boettcher at par in pick 165, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Nothing to complain about; Eric Rivers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at Round 5, Pick 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 VJ Payne
This one needs a full-page explanation: VJ Payne in pick No. 173, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright at slot 176 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd5 Seth McGowan
A straight-up fair deal on Seth McGowan at pick 177, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Le'Veon Moss this early at the 178th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis at the 192nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
They paid a round early for Terion Stewart in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley in No. 199 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaren Kanak well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Taking Ted Hurst in pick No. 208 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
The board fumbled Eric McAlister all the way to the 215th overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Cole Payton
A real head-scratcher, Cole Payton in Round 7, Pick 2 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in slot 221 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Eric O'Neill
Value said wait; Eric O'Neill in pick 226 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick227 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marvin Jones Jr.. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. at pick No. 232 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
They read the board right and Zavion Thomas was the payoff at pick 233. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski in Round 7, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They talked themselves into J. Michael Sturdivant at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A reach on Barion Brown in slot 243; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall at the 244th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
They reached into another round for Daevin Hobbs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Hall this early at the 246th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cameron Ball
A big swing on Cameron Ball at the 250th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Haynes King
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Haynes King. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jam Miller
Jam Miller in pick 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at slot 256 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Smith well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
