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

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 87 name on the board, sitting there at the 174th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Hamilton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Jonathan Taylor by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 12 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the 45th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 76 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in Round 5, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Steal is underselling it; Jackson Slater at slot 172 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Antwane Wells Jr. at the 190th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the 211th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Taking Damien Martinez in pick 249 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
