Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
McNeil-Warren should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, the No. 51 name on the board, stolen at the 92nd overall pick.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and running back went begging. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 12 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 24th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in No. 92 leaves quarterback and running back for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Will Lee III
The board had cheaper options than Will Lee III at pick No. 112, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at slot 149 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tim Keenan III. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Nice patience on Tanner Koziol, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 37. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick No. 180 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright in No. 218 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
