Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and McCord: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kyle McCord, the No. 119 name on the board, stolen at the 149th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The cost of the Pegues reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 20 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick51 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in the 51st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at No. 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They paid sticker price for Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 15, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Circle this one: Kyle McCord at the 149th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They took Jonah Monheim at par in slot 171, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid a round early for JJ Pegues in pick No. 174, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at No. 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 211th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
They did well to land Bilhal Kone in the 239th pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jermari Harris at Round 7, Pick 31 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
