Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Taylor: C-.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Roc Taylor fell into pick 249.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Reaching for Farmer left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

If Mykel Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 12 they get a double-digit-sack hope. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They let Omarion Hampton come to them and pounced at the 44th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Nice patience on Zy Alexander, who had no business lasting to pick 68. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in pick No. 76. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the 114th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 190 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at Round 6, Pick 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick249 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Circle this one: Roc Taylor at the 249th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
