The Cowboys bet big and early on Barryn Sorrell, 103 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Hill falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Grover Stewart gives the group a proven body among the projects.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
Nothing to complain about; Tetairoa McMillan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A slide stopped in pick 44, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Carson Schwesinger at No. 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Nice patience on Omarr Norman-Lott, who had no business lasting to the 80th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in slot 150, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
The board had Kurtis Rourke higher than the Round 5 slot, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Tommi Hill in Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jonah Monheim at the 174th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A quiet steal in pick No. 190: Jaylen Reed for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They reached a country mile for Eric Gregory at pick 249, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
