The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 205th pick on Thor Griffith a full 79 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

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

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In pick No. 12 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 55
They jumped the gun on Domani Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 65
Alfred Collins at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.10 · Pick 148 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 90
Danny Stutsman in No. 148 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.30 · Pick 168 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 128
Taking Cody Simon in the 168th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.32 · Pick 170 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 127
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at Round 5, Pick 32. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.33 · Pick 171 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 221
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at No. 171. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.34 · Pick 172 · Jake Majors · C · rank 96
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to the 172nd pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 171
They did well to land Eli Stowers in the 177th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 284
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Jonah Coleman · RB · rank 165
Circle this one: Jonah Coleman at pick No. 209 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
