Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Zy Alexander, taking him 22 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Martinez. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tetairoa McMillan. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 45th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zy Alexander. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Smael Mondon Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They did well to land Mitchell Evans in Round 5, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They barely believed it either: Damien Martinez still on the board at pick No. 174. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They took Jay Higgins at par in pick 204, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Good price on Caleb Ransaw in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
No drama and no debate, Alijah Huzzie went about where he belonged in pick No. 217. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 239th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 31 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
