Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Etienne: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Trevor Etienne, the 174th overall pick, roughly 32 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The cost of the Conner reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 12 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at No. 44 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 3, Pick 12 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 149, where Malachi Moore graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick171 Rnd5 CJ West
A conviction pick on CJ West at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in the 174th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
They barely believed it either: Jaydon Blue still on the board at the 204th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
A premium they did not need to pay, Howard Cross III a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jermari Harris at the Round 7 slot is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at pick No. 247. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
