Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Phillip Webb, taking him 115 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. However the rest shakes out, Paul Jr. at that price is a win they earned.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 12th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alfred Collins well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They talked themselves into Jake Majors at slot 76, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The board fumbled Malachi Moore all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Brady Cook
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brady Cook in pick No. 148, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in No. 173 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Phillip Webb. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick209 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the 209th pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
