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
In pick No. 12 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at Round 5, Pick 32. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at No. 171. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
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.
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.
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.
Circle this one: Jonah Coleman at pick No. 209 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
