Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Whittington: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordan Whittington, No. 247, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slid further than he should have, and the 65th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Value with a capital V on Amarius Mims in Round 3, Pick 26, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick 101 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
They robbed the room for Max Melton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
They will replay Devontez Walker at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cam Hart
A tidy bit of business in the 180th pick, where Cam Hart graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn at No. 212 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick No. 247 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
