Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Walter Nolen, slot 44, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The cost of the Fairchild reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 44th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 80th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in the 149th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They read the board right and Bhayshul Tuten was the payoff at pick 171. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Nothing to complain about; Caleb Rogers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at No. 211 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at slot 239 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Smith. The roster fit checks out.
