Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 107: the Cowboys steal Washington Jr. and grade out a B+.

When a board-topper like Mike Washington Jr. slides to Round 4, Pick 7, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 20 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick70 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Lee Hunter in the 70th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 74, where Keionte Scott graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at slot 92 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick107 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in pick 107 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
The board fumbled Skyler Bell all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Somehow Parker Brailsford was still sitting there in the 152nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They let Beau Stephens come to them and pounced at No. 169. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
They read the board right and Nate Boerkircher was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 37. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil in slot 180 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Payton at the 218th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Latrell McCutchin Sr. for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
