Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in the 57th pick: the Cowboys steal Emmanwori and grade out a A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nick Emmanwori slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at No. 57. Highway robbery. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 20th overall pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 44 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 57th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins is a better player than Round 3, Pick 12 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They will replay Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 149 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tommi Hill in pick 174. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers at slot 204 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
No drama and no debate, Nazir Stackhouse went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Addison West
Addison West at the 239th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 247 is lovely value for the safety. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
