Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did enough to get by: C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Princewill Umanmielen in Round 7, Pick 1, a good 53 spots before the room expected him. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Rodriguez to cover a lot of smaller sins.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28 Rnd1 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
A curious use of the 28th overall pick. Offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Quincy Rhodes Jr. did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
They reached a country mile for Demond Claiborne at No. 115, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in the 155th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 38: Jacob Rodriguez for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Nice patience on Davison Igbinosun, who had no business lasting to slot 179. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd7 Princewill Umanmielen
A real head-scratcher, Princewill Umanmielen in slot 216 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at pick No. 229 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
