Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Hayden Conner, taking him 56 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Crenshaw-Dickson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They read the board right and Jihaad Campbell was the payoff at the 44th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaydon Blue. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in slot 204 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at pick No. 211, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at Round 7, Pick 1 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at the 239th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They did well to land Cam Horsley in Round 7, Pick 31, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson at pick No. 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick254 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They went early on Marcus Yarns in the 254th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
