Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: B+.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Barryn Sorrell, 158 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The McCord value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 7
In the 2nd overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 19
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 14
Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 1 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 18
Nick Emmanwori in the 36th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 30
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at pick No. 44. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 54
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Bond in slot 51, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 56
Value with a capital V on Alfred Collins in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Trey Amos · CB · rank 50
Trey Amos at slot 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.37 · Pick 101 · Tez Johnson · WR · rank 90
A quiet steal in the 101st overall pick: Tez Johnson for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.20 · Pick 121 · Willie Lampkin · OG · rank 179
They left a pile of value on the table to take Willie Lampkin this early at the 121st pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.11 · Pick 150 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 118
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hollin Pierce reach pick No. 150 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.31 · Pick 170 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 328
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in Round 5, Pick 31, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.33 · Pick 172 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 156
They let Logan Brown come to them and pounced at pick 172. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.35 · Pick 174 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 174
Dorian Strong in No. 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.12 · Pick 190 · Kyle McCord · QB · rank 125
They will replay Kyle McCord at the 190th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
