Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Barryn Sorrell at pick 174 regardless, 136 picks early.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Tuten that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 25 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at No. 44 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A reach on Danny Stutsman in the 76th pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
A tidy little value on Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 127, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 150th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 170th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They talked themselves into Kyle Williams at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick190 Rnd6 Nick Martin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Martin in pick No. 190, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at slot 211 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A quiet steal in pick 249: Jake Briningstool for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
