Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 247th overall pick lands the Cowboys a B-, Riley and all.

When a board-topper like Quincy Riley slides to the 247th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

The Cross III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 12 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
No edge and no loss on Kaleb Johnson in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick 76, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen slipping to the 149th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in pick No. 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at slot 174 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Addison West
They took Addison West at par in the 204th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
A big swing on Roc Taylor at Round 6, Pick 35, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They let Cam Jackson come to them and pounced at the 239th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Quincy Riley in the 247th overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
