Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story. The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for David Walker, 114 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.
On value alone, Nussmeier makes the weekend a net positive. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. It is not that Burch is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In No. 13 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the 25th overall pick they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Abdul Carter
They did well to land Abdul Carter in slot 44, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick77
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in pick 77. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 84 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
They let Luke Kandra come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jordan Burch
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jordan Burch at edge rusher with linebacker and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick130
Rnd4
Garrett Nussmeier
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Garrett Nussmeier in the 130th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151
Rnd5
Mansoor Delane
The board fumbled Mansoor Delane all the way to pick No. 151, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jack Bech
Nice patience on Jack Bech, who had no business lasting to pick 170. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They paid a round early for Jonah Monheim in Round 5, Pick 34, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
David Walker
A big swing on David Walker at No. 188, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
