Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Malachi Lawrence at the 112th pick is 35 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Hill Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, offensive lineman very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Dillon Thieneman
In slot 31 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 47, where Anthony Hill Jr. graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
They took Jacob Rodriguez at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
Good price on Malik Muhammad in pick 95, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112
Rnd4
Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at No. 112 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick150
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves at the 150th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
They did well to land Ted Hurst in the 177th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia in pick No. 215 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick221
Rnd7
Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225
Rnd7
John Michael Gyllenborg
A wild overpay on John Michael Gyllenborg in slot 225, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
