The rest of the league had time to spare on Caden Curry; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 39 spots ahead at pick 92. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Jermod McCoy · CB · rank 18
A straight-up fair deal on Jermod McCoy at pick No. 20, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 131
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caden Curry this early at the 92nd overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
