Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

TradesF
FutureB-
A franchise passer in Dart headlines a D- weekend for the Cowboys. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Torricelli Simpkins III a full 53 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Jaxson Dart gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Getting Emmanwori where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In No. 12 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection.
Pick21
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in the 31st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 44 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A reach for Ozzy Trapilo in slot 74; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 3, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at slot 83 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deone Walker in the 91st overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick 95 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in Round 5, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 171st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 174 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed is a better player than pick No. 204 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick211
Rnd6
Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 239 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at the 247th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
