Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Cowboys robbed the room for Parrish. Final grade: B.

Somebody in pick No. 151 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Jacob Parrish, the No. 118 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If Diggs pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A wild overpay on Cam Skattebo in slot 80, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
You do not let a quarterback like Kyle McCord reach pick No. 149 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 151st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at Round 5, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They paid sticker price for Ajani Cornelius in the 174th overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 CJ West
The board fumbled CJ West all the way to pick No. 204, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fadil Diggs well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shemar James
They took Shemar James at par in Round 7, Pick 23, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
They reached a country mile for Ben Yurosek at the 247th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
