Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
Larceny in pick No. 44 lands the Cowboys a C, Emmanwori and all.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

Every board in the league had Watson lower, and that gap is the story. The Emmanwori pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In No. 23 they get a workhorse for the backfield at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Nothing to complain about; Luther Burden III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
A premium they did not need to pay, Carson Schwesinger a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at slot 76 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They reached a country mile for Ty Robinson at Round 5, Pick 11, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Connor Colby
The board had cheaper options than Connor Colby at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter is a better player than the 204th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A wild overpay on Desmond Watson in the 211th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
