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

Thirty-one other rooms let Quinn Ewers slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at pick 117. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The Henderson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 12th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They jumped the gun on TreVeyon Henderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Nice patience on Quinshon Judkins, who had no business lasting to No. 76. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Somehow Quinn Ewers was still sitting there in pick 117, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 11, with Hollin Pierce worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A premium they did not need to pay, Connor Colby a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Nothing to complain about; Tahj Brooks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They read the board right and Cam Jackson was the payoff at the 239th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick 247 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
