Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Moore fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malachi Moore, the No. 136 name on the board, in Round 6, Pick 28.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Nice patience on Omarion Hampton, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 76 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ozzy Trapilo
Taking Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 149 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at Round 5, Pick 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 174th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in the 204th pick, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 211 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the 239th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
A safety of that caliber at the 247th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
