Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: A-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Davin Vann, 65 picks ahead of schedule. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Nick Emmanwori and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 17 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick50 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Nice patience on Cameron Williams, who had no business lasting to No. 78. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Fair-plus on Darien Porter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
No edge and no loss on Quinn Ewers in slot 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jaylin Lane
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Lane at slot 146 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at No. 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 153rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They will replay Hollin Pierce at the 166th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 171 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Clay Webb
A big swing on Clay Webb at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They reached a country mile for Nazir Stackhouse at Round 6, Pick 11, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
By-the-book stuff, Luke Lachey at pick 204 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Davin Vann
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davin Vann this early at the 206th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick211 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Circle this one: Upton Stout at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board had Jordan Hancock higher than Round 7, Pick 7, and the safety fell to them anyway. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in pick No. 230, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick236 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
You do not let a safety like Craig Woodson reach slot 236 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Good price on Ja'Corey Brooks in the 239th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Shemar James
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar James. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
A straight-up fair deal on Zeek Biggers at No. 247, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
