Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Nick Nash, 59 picks ahead of schedule.

The Skattebo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick No. 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tai Felton
The board had cheaper options than Tai Felton at Round 3, Pick 12, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to pick 148, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 170th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ricardo Hallman
They talked themselves into Ricardo Hallman at pick No. 171, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187 Rnd6 Nick Nash
A wild overpay on Nick Nash in pick 187, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at the 209th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They will replay Hunter Wohler at slot 247 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
