Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
Jones Jr. should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Jones Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 53rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinshon Judkins in No. 76. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Somehow Denzel Burke was still sitting there in the 110th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick150 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 150 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They did well to land Jonah Monheim in slot 152, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at No. 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Emery Jones Jr. in the 174th pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Circle this one: KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Nothing to complain about; Ty Hamilton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
