Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Eric Gregory at pick 247 is 60 spots clear of where he belonged.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 45 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in slot 56; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 76th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 80 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
They paid up for Nohl Williams at the 109th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Kobe King
A reach on Kobe King in No. 117; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at Round 5, Pick 13 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Nice patience on Damien Martinez, who had no business lasting to slot 174. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 177th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at the 204th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217
Rnd7
Kain Medrano
They paid sticker price for Kain Medrano in pick No. 217, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at slot 239 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247
Rnd7
Eric Gregory
A big swing on Eric Gregory at Round 7, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
