Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Clayton Smith a full 183 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Omosigho makes the weekend a net positive. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 13th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In slot 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
No drama and no debate, Justice Haynes went about where he belonged in pick No. 114. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Duce Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Taking Sammy Omosigho in the 167th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 182 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Clayton Smith
They talked themselves into Clayton Smith at No. 208, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at the 220th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
They left a pile of value on the table to take TJ Metcalf this early at the 231st overall pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
