Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Phillip Webb at the 173rd pick is 111 spots clear of where he belonged.

Skattebo falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 20th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malachi Moore
They reached into another round for Malachi Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They paid a round early for Jake Majors in pick No. 76, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They took Danny Stutsman at par in Round 3, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in No. 148 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 168th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at the 170th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
They talked themselves into Phillip Webb at slot 173, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman in pick 209 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They paid sticker price for Garrett Dellinger in No. 248, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
