Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Henderson from sliding. Grade: D+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 71 spots for LT Overton, and value like that does not grow back. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.
However the rest shakes out, Henderson at that price is a win they earned. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
They will answer for taking edge rusher early while cornerback and tight end went begging. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In the 19th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. More want than need.
Pick42
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in slot 42 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
Fair-plus on Kenneth Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaxson Dart this early at slot 83. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
LT Overton
A want over a need in pick 107: LT Overton adds an edge rusher while cornerback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick120
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at pick No. 120 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in No. 149 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in the 169th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 170th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
Antwane Wells Jr.
A wild overpay on Antwane Wells Jr. in Round 5, Pick 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186
Rnd6
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 186 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209
Rnd6
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than slot 209 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
