Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 212th overall pick: the Cowboys steal Williams and grade out a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Miyan Williams, the No. 190 name on the board, in No. 212.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 56, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg slid further than he should have, and pick 124 is lovely value for the linebacker. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade is a better player than No. 174 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams at the 212th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They read the board right and Nathaniel Watson was the payoff at slot 245. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
