Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB+
Grand theft in the 190th pick: the Cowboys steal Shough and grade out a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tyler Shough, the No. 146 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They paid sticker price for Matthew Golden in No. 44, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at pick No. 51 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 76th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They barely believed it either: Darius Alexander still on the board at the 150th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in Round 5, Pick 31 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Circle this one: Vernon Broughton at slot 172 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
The board fumbled Earnest Greene III all the way to pick 174, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in No. 190 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed slid further than he should have, and pick 199 is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A tidy bit of business in the 211th overall pick, where Jordan Hancock graded well above the range. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith in the 249th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
