Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent No. 110 on Brady Cook, a name the board had a full 136 spots lower. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Paul Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 44 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Moore in slot 76. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brady Cook
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at pick 110. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
They let Michael Taaffe come to them and pounced at the 168th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
They reached into another round for Phillip Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 6, Pick 12 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 247th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
