Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+. The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Davin Vann, 70 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 14th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach slot 76 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
The board fumbled Jayden Higgins all the way to Round 3, Pick 16, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A clean, defensible pick in the 117th overall pick with a little surplus value in Cam Skattebo. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
They took Luke Kandra at par in slot 149, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in pick No. 159 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at the 171st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at pick 182 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 18: JJ Pegues for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
A reach on Nazir Stackhouse in No. 198; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204
Rnd6
Davin Vann
Value said wait; Davin Vann in the 204th pick says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They reached a country mile for Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 211, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239
Rnd7
Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at pick No. 239 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
