Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Reuben Fatheree II, 86 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ransom. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 12th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jason Marshall Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at pick No. 168 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
They reached a country mile for Ty Hamilton at No. 170, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick186 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Value said wait; Hayden Conner in Round 6, Pick 11 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to pick No. 209, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in slot 248 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
