Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D-
ValueB-

FutureB
A passer of the future in Dart, and a D-, for the Cowboys. The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Tyler Batty, 35 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Jaxson Dart gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.
They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With cornerback, linebacker and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
Henderson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In slot 14 they get the face of the franchise, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 12, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 76, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at the 80th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81
Rnd3
Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in No. 81; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 97 on Kevin Winston Jr. with cornerback, linebacker and other spots unsolved.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 149th pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 171st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick 174 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West at pick No. 189 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
Value said wait; Tyler Batty in Round 6, Pick 28 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211
Rnd6
R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in No. 211 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
No drama and no debate, Theo Wease Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 247. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
