Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Max Brosmer at pick 171, a reach of 146 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Nash. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 12 they get a disruptive interior force, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 45th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech is a better player than No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in pick No. 117, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
By-the-book stuff, Bhayshul Tuten at pick 149 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Max Brosmer
Max Brosmer at Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Nick Nash in the 174th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A reach on R.J. Mickens in No. 204; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Value with a capital V on Caleb Rogers in slot 211, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the 239th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at pick 247 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
