Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Singleton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nicholas Singleton got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 171st pick.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 13 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at No. 44 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the 168th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II is a better player than pick No. 170 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in the 171st pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at pick 189 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in Round 6, Pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
