Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Omar Speights went at pick 233, a good 108 picks before the board was ready. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Steven Nelson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
The board had cheaper options than Patrick Paul at slot 59, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 87th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at No. 125 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick No. 128 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in the 134th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
No drama and no debate, Grayson Murphy went about where he belonged in the 174th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
A conviction pick on Myles Murphy at pick 216 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at slot 244 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
