Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Neal: B.

Somebody in pick 168 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Devin Neal, the No. 84 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If Prather pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 20th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at pick No. 44 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They robbed the room for Derrick Harmon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 78 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 5, Pick 10, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at slot 168 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in pick 170 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 171st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 Samuel Brown
Samuel Brown in pick No. 187 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at pick 189 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at Round 6, Pick 34 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They reached a country mile for Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
