Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
Brooks should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a A-.

Call it larceny. Tahj Brooks sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 23, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

If McLeod pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Elijah Moore gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In the end it comes back to Matthew Golden, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Circle this one: Matthew Golden at slot 33 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
You do not let a wide receiver like Luther Burden III reach No. 44 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 76th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the 149th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in pick 171 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They took Quincy Riley at par in Round 5, Pick 36, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter slipping to pick No. 204 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Value with a capital V on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Karene Reid at the 216th overall pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to pick No. 239, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
