Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Woody Marks had no business being available in pick 236, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every board in the league had Hassanein lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 12 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick 25 they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 149th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in pick No. 166 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 36, with Jalen Rivers worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ahmed Hassanein well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Good price on Jay Higgins in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. slipping to No. 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Woody Marks
A running back of that caliber at the 236th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at No. 239 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamon Dumas-Johnson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
