Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Mullings from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kalel Mullings tumbling to the Cowboys in the 247th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 12 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in pick 44, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at pick No. 76 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 Omarr Norman-Lott
Taking Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 148 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at the 168th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 36, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at the 186th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick No. 209 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the 247th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
