Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D-

NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. The war room fell hard for Brady Cook, and it showed at pick 211: 78 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They banked enough surplus on Hancock to cover a lot of smaller sins.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In slot 31 they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton in the 44th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in pick No. 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
They let Wyatt Milum come to them and pounced at pick 76. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 21 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Fair-plus on Emery Jones Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten slipping to the 174th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jason Marshall Jr. at Round 6, Pick 32, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Brady Cook
They talked themselves into Brady Cook at pick No. 211, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Value said wait; Ja'Corey Brooks in pick 217 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in slot 239, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in No. 247, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
