Dallas Cowboys

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Barryn Sorrell at No. 211 is 117 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

On value alone, Gabriel makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the 12th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 43
By-the-book stuff, Matthew Golden at the 45th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Omarr Norman-Lott · DT · rank 74
A straight-up fair deal on Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 76, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.15 · Pick 116 · Charles Grant · OT · rank 99
Charles Grant at Round 4, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 136
Cody Simon in slot 150 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Xavier Scott · CB · rank 167
Xavier Scott at pick 170 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 146
Robert Spears-Jennings in the 172nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dillon Gabriel · QB · rank 133
Taking Dillon Gabriel in the 174th pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 248
Jake Briningstool at No. 190 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.13 · Pick 191 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 243
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 328
Barryn Sorrell at pick 211 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 251
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 31. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
