The Cowboys did not so much draft Barryn Sorrell as overpay for him, 124 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Bowman Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
In the 12th pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 63
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 39
Jihaad Campbell in the 76th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Jake Majors · C · rank 94
A premium they did not need to pay, Jake Majors a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.11 · Pick 148 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 164
A reach for Jaeden Roberts in slot 148; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.31 · Pick 168 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 292
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · Willie Lampkin · OG · rank 175
No edge and no loss on Willie Lampkin in No. 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.36 · Pick 173 · Billy Bowman Jr. · S · rank 113
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 173 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Phillip Webb · DL-EDGE · rank 298
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Phillip Webb well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Roc Taylor · WR · rank 240
They talked themselves into Roc Taylor at the 209th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Akheem Mesidor · DL-EDGE · rank 339
Akheem Mesidor at Round 7, Pick 31 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
