Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D-. The Cowboys did not so much draft Tyler Batty as overpay for him, 75 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
With cornerback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The Alexander steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 18 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 45 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
A clean, defensible pick in the 57th overall pick with a little surplus value in Marcus Mbow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at slot 76 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at Round 3, Pick 18 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kevin Winston Jr. while clear needs at cornerback and tight end sat open.
Pick113
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A premium they did not need to pay, Shemar Turner a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Skattebo in pick 116. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in the 150th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kobe King
Steal is underselling it; Kobe King at pick No. 152 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the 172nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190
Rnd6
Damien Martinez
Somehow Damien Martinez was still sitting there in the 190th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in No. 211 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in pick 249, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
