Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A.

The war room fell hard for Warren Brinson, and it showed at the 248th overall pick: 41 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

McCord at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Andrew Van Ginkel gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at the 44th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at slot 49 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 55th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They let Dylan Sampson come to them and pounced at No. 76. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at pick 117 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They read the board right and Jacob Parrish was the payoff at pick No. 136. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to Round 5, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A quiet steal in the 171st overall pick: Damien Martinez for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in No. 184 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Fair-plus on Jay Higgins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at slot 211 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
A wild overpay on CJ Dippre in the 214th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Somehow Jordan Hancock was still sitting there in pick No. 239, and they pounced on premier safety value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
No drama and no debate, Ty Hamilton went about where he belonged in pick 247. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson at the 248th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 38 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
