A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 117 picks early on Barryn Sorrell, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Simon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In slot 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 48
No drama and no debate, Tre Harris went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 12. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jordan Phillips · DT · rank 109
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Phillips. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 135
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cody Simon at pick No. 150. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Addison West · OG · rank 202
A real head-scratcher, Addison West in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.3 · Pick 181 · Chase Lundt · OT · rank 173
Chase Lundt slipping to pick 181 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 186
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 190 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.15 · Pick 193 · Jaylen Reed · S · rank 188
A clean, defensible pick in slot 193 with a little surplus value in Jaylen Reed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.32 · Pick 210 · Jake Briningstool · TE · rank 248
They reached into another round for Jake Briningstool, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
R6.33 · Pick 211 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 328
Barryn Sorrell in Round 6, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.39 · Pick 217 · CJ West · DT · rank 217
By-the-book stuff, CJ West at the 217th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.31 · Pick 249 · KJ Jefferson · QB · rank 349
KJ Jefferson at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
