Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Hayden Conner as overpay for him, 24 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Hampton makes the weekend a net positive.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 20 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
The board had cheaper options than Ty Hamilton at pick 122, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They took O'Donnell Fortune at par in slot 149, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the 174th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jason Marshall Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
By-the-book stuff, Nazir Stackhouse at the 211th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A tidy bit of business in pick 217, where Jay Higgins graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
