Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Hill Jr.: C+.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Anthony Hill Jr., the No. 40 name on the board, in pick No. 66. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Velling reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

So much rides on Jeremiyah Love that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 28 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
The board had cheaper options than Nyck Harbor at pick No. 46, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Circle this one: Anthony Hill Jr. at the 66th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They did well to land Zakee Wheatley in the 92nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick102 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton slid further than he should have, and slot 102 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A tidy little value on Domani Jackson in Round 4, Pick 14, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
By-the-book stuff, Nico Iamaleava at No. 154 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick179 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in pick No. 179 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at pick 220 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Barion Brown
No drama and no debate, Barion Brown went about where he belonged in the 232nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jack Velling
They went early on Jack Velling in Round 7, Pick 42, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
