B

Dallas Cowboys

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 60 picks early on Devin Culp, and the board is going to hold them to it. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

On value alone, Flournoy makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
Patrick Paul at pick 87 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
A tidy little value on Trey Benson in No. 92, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in Round 4, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
Roger Rosengarten at slot 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in the 134th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 143
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 163 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at No. 174. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 226
The board had cheaper options than Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 41, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Solomon Byrd · DE-EDGE · rank 257
A real head-scratcher, Solomon Byrd in pick 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 203
Ryan Flournoy in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Devin Culp · TE · rank 304
Devin Culp in the 244th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
