Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Felton: B.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 11 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Tai Felton, the No. 99 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The cost of the McWilliams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 76: Demetrius Knight Jr. for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A conviction pick on Vernon Broughton at pick 171 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers in the 204th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Mac McWilliams
A big swing on Mac McWilliams at the 211th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at No. 239 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford in pick 247 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
