Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Kaden Prather a full 71 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They banked enough surplus on Burke to cover a lot of smaller sins. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 14 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in the 58th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 74 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
No edge and no loss on Kyle Kennard in the 76th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick79
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 15 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in pick 80, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151
Rnd5
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at No. 151 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Steal is underselling it; Kyle McCord at the 153rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
The board had Damien Martinez higher than the 166th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
They went early on Jaylen Reed in Round 5, Pick 33, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
A reach for Vernon Broughton in slot 174; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204
Rnd6
Kaden Prather
A big swing on Kaden Prather at pick No. 204, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick 239 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
