Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 174 lands the Cowboys a B, Brown and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Logan Brown, the No. 146 name on the board, stolen at the 174th overall pick.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Kiser reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 12 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 76th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A clean, defensible pick in pick 117 with a little surplus value in Cam Skattebo. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid up for Jack Kiser at pick No. 171 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the 174th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in Round 6, Pick 28 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 211 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They did well to land Isaac TeSlaa in slot 239, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. is a better player than the 247th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
