The Cowboys let Amos fall and pounced. Final grade: B.
by HR ·
2025 NFL Draft
· 12 picks
· 8 steals
· 4 reaches
The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Trey Amos, the No. 51 name on the board, sitting there at the 149th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The Sorrell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 17th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Mason Graham at slot 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the 49th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Tre Harris at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Trey Amos in pick No. 149 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
You do not let a quarterback like Jalen Milroe reach No. 171 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in pick 174, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They liked Carson Vinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in No. 211, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Barryn Sorrell at the 239th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Moliki Matavao at pick No. 247 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
