Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Anthony Belton at the 166th overall pick, a reach of 96 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Perkins Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Isaiah Bond
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 34th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
No edge and no loss on Josh Conerly Jr. in the 41st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
A clean, defensible pick in slot 44 with a little surplus value in Mykel Williams. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick54 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 54 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Value said wait; Jalen Royals in the 55th overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slid further than he should have, and No. 75 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Nice patience on Danny Stutsman, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 36. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kevin Winston Jr. while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick122 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at slot 122, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Somehow Tai Felton was still sitting there in pick 124, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
A curious use of pick No. 135. Quarterback needed the pick; an edge rusher in Jordan Burch did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
A wild overpay on Jaeden Roberts in pick 147, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the 150th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A big swing on Anthony Belton at slot 166, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 169th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Lander Barton
The board fumbled Lander Barton all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 5, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at No. 190 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
They will replay Harold Perkins Jr. at pick No. 206 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
No drama and no debate, Terrance Ferguson went about where he belonged in the 221st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
