Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Hood. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Colton Hood slides to the 221st pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

If Moore pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
Fair-plus on Mansoor Delane, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at No. 112 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the 150th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jermod McCoy
Somehow Jermod McCoy was still sitting there in the 177th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd5 Dillon Thieneman
They will replay Dillon Thieneman at pick No. 181 for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick221 Rnd7 Colton Hood
They barely believed it either: Colton Hood still on the board at Round 7, Pick 5. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in slot 225 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
