Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 151st pick lands the Cowboys a A-, Mukuba and all.

Somebody in slot 151 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Andrew Mukuba, the No. 74 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Nico Collins deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 45 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 151st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach Round 5, Pick 30 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
They will replay Nicholas Singleton at No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Circle this one: Robert Spears-Jennings at the 190th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 209 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
