Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB
The Cowboys let Etienne fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-. You build a draft on nights like this. Trevor Etienne had no business being available in pick No. 211, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The final tally is a middling C-.
The Gregory reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 14 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 44th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ozzy Trapilo
They talked themselves into Ozzy Trapilo at Round 2, Pick 31, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at slot 76 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jayden Higgins still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
They jumped the gun on Emery Jones Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 117 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
They will replay Nohl Williams at the 149th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kobe King
Kobe King in Round 5, Pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 204 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Trevor Etienne
You do not let a running back like Trevor Etienne reach the 211th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at No. 232, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 239 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247
Rnd7
Eric Gregory
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gregory well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
