The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on Jaylin Smith a full 24 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Getting West where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
