Future B-

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 60 picks early on Trevin Wallace, and the board is going to hold them to it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Flournoy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 31
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 58 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 73
They read the board right and Ja'Lynn Polk was the payoff at slot 88. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarvis Brownlee Jr. · CB · rank 112
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Jarvis Brownlee Jr. graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 164
They did well to land Walter Rouse in the 169th pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 234
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevin Wallace this early at Round 5, Pick 38. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 179
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick No. 202 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Julian Pearl · OT · rank 204
Julian Pearl at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 206
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jaylan Ford in No. 233, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Khalid Duke · DE-EDGE · rank 291
They reached a country mile for Khalid Duke at the 244th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 205
Ryan Flournoy in slot 245 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
