Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Paris Shand, 113 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

However the rest shakes out, Gordon II at that price is a win they earned. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Jordan Addison pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
They read the board right and Matthew Golden was the payoff at the 24th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 44th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 76 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in slot 97. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeffrey Bassa in Round 5, Pick 11, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
By-the-book stuff, Jack Nelson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid up for JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 204 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at No. 211 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Paris Shand
A big swing on Paris Shand at pick No. 239, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Gregory this early at the 247th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
