Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys land in the muddy middle: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Nyziah Hunter, 486 picks early at the 24th pick.

They banked enough surplus on Moore to cover a lot of smaller sins. It is not that Traore is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Rueben Bain Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick 13 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick24 Rnd1 Nyziah Hunter
In No. 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Boubacar Traore at edge rusher with cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick153 Rnd5 Anthony Lucas
They barely believed it either: Anthony Lucas still on the board at slot 153. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in pick No. 178 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
Steal is underselling it; CJ Baxter at the 179th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at pick 232 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in Round 7, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
