Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Walker: B+.

The Cowboys ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at slot 51 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mike Green
Mike Green in the 55th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A tidy bit of business in pick 76, where Quinshon Judkins graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor is a better player than the 85th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A clean, defensible pick in No. 86 with a little surplus value in Ozzy Trapilo. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
The board had Mello Dotson higher than No. 149, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A quiet steal in pick No. 171: Bhayshul Tuten for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick 174 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Oronde Gadsden II in slot 204. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick218 Rnd7 Howard Cross III
By-the-book stuff, Howard Cross III at Round 7, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 239th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the 242nd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
No drama and no debate, LaJohntay Wester went about where he belonged in the 247th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
