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

The war room fell hard for Hayden Conner, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 23 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Egbuka at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron slid further than he should have, and pick No. 20 is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in No. 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 76th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick 85 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They paid sticker price for O'Donnell Fortune in the 149th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They liked Jack Nelson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 174th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter is a better player than the 204th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 211 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in Round 7, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac TeSlaa. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at No. 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
