B
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.
by HR ·
2025 NFL Draft
· 10 picks
· 8 steals
· 2 reaches
The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 114 spots for Barryn Sorrell, and value like that does not grow back.
Stutsman at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 12th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter.
The board fumbled Luther Burden III all the way to No. 44, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They will replay Tyleik Williams at the 76th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Danny Stutsman in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 170, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Circle this one: Mello Dotson at pick 186 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached into another round for KJ Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They robbed the room for Terrance Ferguson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
