Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 211 lands the Cowboys a B, Giddens and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let DJ Giddens slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at pick No. 211. Highway robbery.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The cost of the Colby reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon is a better player than the 44th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 76 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
Good price on Aeneas Peebles in No. 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at slot 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
They read the board right and Antwane Wells Jr. was the payoff at pick 204. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They barely believed it either: DJ Giddens still on the board at Round 6, Pick 35. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
They paid sticker price for Mac McWilliams in pick No. 239, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They will replay Akili Arnold at Round 7, Pick 31 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
