Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureD
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: DJ Uiagalelei in the 257th overall pick, a good 53 spots before the room expected him. Put together, it is a D-.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slipping to the 30th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Deone Walker
Taking Deone Walker in Round 4, Pick 7 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
A tidy little value on Dillon Gabriel in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
No edge and no loss on Jackson Slater in Round 5, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jalen Rivers
Value with a capital V on Jalen Rivers in No. 174, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at pick 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Simeon Barrow Jr.
They liked Simeon Barrow Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 217th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
Nothing to complain about; Desmond Watson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in slot 247 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 251 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257
Rnd7
DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at pick 257 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
