Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Cornelius. Final grade: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ajani Cornelius, the No. 175 name on the board, in the 211th overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Vann lower, and that gap is the story. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 20th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in pick No. 58. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They let Isaiah Bond come to them and pounced at slot 85. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They liked Zy Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in the 89th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McLaughlin well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 13, with Tyler Shough worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in slot 174 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick 211 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A tidy bit of business in the 217th overall pick, where Thomas Fidone II graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at No. 232 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Davin Vann
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davin Vann. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A quiet steal in pick No. 247: Ja'Corey Brooks for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
