Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The McMillan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Watson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 20 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
They robbed the room for Tetairoa McMillan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 3, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in No. 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Value with a capital V on Andrew Mukuba in the 94th pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Milroe at the 104th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A reach for Bhayshul Tuten in pick 149; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Circle this one: O'Donnell Fortune at slot 174 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Value said wait; Desmond Watson in the 211th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They did well to land Carson Vinson in No. 239, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Fair-plus on Isaac TeSlaa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
