Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Brown: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

On value alone, Brown makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 14 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Nothing to complain about; Omarr Norman-Lott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
The board had Hollin Pierce higher than pick No. 149, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A cornerback of that caliber at the 171st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Logan Brown
You do not let an offensive lineman like Logan Brown reach Round 5, Pick 36 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick211 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They read the board right and Oronde Gadsden II was the payoff at the 211th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Circle this one: Kobe Hudson at No. 239 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
