Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Mike Washington Jr., 26 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Nelson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Howell pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end and interior defensive lineman still on the board.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In No. 12 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
A surprising call. With tight end and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent the 20th overall pick on Cashius Howell, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A big swing on Mike Washington Jr. at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in Round 5, Pick 12 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at slot 178 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jerry Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 215. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Malachi Nelson
Malachi Nelson in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
By-the-book stuff, Fernando Carmona at Round 7, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
