Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Allar. Final grade: D-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Drew Allar, the No. 64 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 169th pick.
They will need Hemingway to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
In slot 22 they get a premier pass rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45
Rnd2
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the 45th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Patrick Payton
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Patrick Payton at edge rusher with tight end open.
Pick54
Rnd2
Nicholas Singleton
They jumped the gun on Nicholas Singleton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at the 68th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
They paid up for Danny Stutsman at No. 76 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick 92 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tonka Hemingway
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tonka Hemingway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155
Rnd5
Antwane Wells Jr.
They took Antwane Wells Jr. at par in the 155th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick 169 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick No. 170 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171
Rnd5
Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in the 171st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192
Rnd6
Xzavier Henderson
They let Xzavier Henderson come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208
Rnd6
Collin Oliver
They talked themselves into Collin Oliver at slot 208, and the board did not agree. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
