Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Moore from sliding. Grade: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malachi Moore, the No. 94 name on the board, in No. 211. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The West reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 12th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A wild overpay on Cam Skattebo in pick 76, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 150th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 CJ West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ West well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kobe King
Steal is underselling it; Kobe King at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in No. 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They barely believed it either: Tyler Cooper still on the board at pick No. 190. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in Round 6, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in pick 249, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
