Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueB

FutureB+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Eric Gregory. He came off 77 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Winston Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback and tight end.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ersery.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
Good price on Tetairoa McMillan in slot 14, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 44th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74
Rnd3
Aireontae Ersery
They will replay Aireontae Ersery at No. 74 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 12 on Kevin Winston Jr. with cornerback and tight end unsolved.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 117 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord slipping to Round 4, Pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. is a better player than slot 136 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
A straight-up fair deal on Damien Martinez at pick 149, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
The board had Bhayshul Tuten higher than pick No. 171, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
A big swing on Tonka Hemingway at the 204th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at the 211th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Logan Parr
Logan Parr at No. 239 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247
Rnd7
Nick Martin
Nick Martin at pick No. 247 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
