Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Tyler Batty, 30 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will answer for taking safety early while tight end went begging. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Emery Jones Jr.
In the 26th pick they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Ollie Gordon II
In pick No. 28 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in slot 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60
Rnd2
Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at pick 60 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Nicholas Singleton
They reached a country mile for Nicholas Singleton at No. 62, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
A real head-scratcher, Jalon Walker in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83
Rnd3
Blake Miller
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Miller at pick 83, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Riley Leonard
No drama and no debate, Riley Leonard went about where he belonged in the 90th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 91 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
They liked Malachi Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 102. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122
Rnd4
Nick Emmanwori
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Nick Emmanwori adds a safety and leaves tight end untouched.
Pick124
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
They paid a round early for Davison Igbinosun in the 124th pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154
Rnd5
Will Sheppard
A reach for Will Sheppard in pick No. 154; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
A conviction pick on Alfred Collins at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
Value said wait; Tyler Batty in pick 186 says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
