Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 174th overall pick lands the Cowboys a B+, McCord and all.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Kyle McCord, the No. 120 name on the board, sitting there at Round 5, Pick 36 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The veteran additions, Vita Vea chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 17th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tre Harris
By-the-book stuff, Tre Harris at slot 49 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
No drama and no debate, TreVeyon Henderson went about where he belonged in pick No. 53. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They barely believed it either: Alfred Collins still on the board at the 76th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick 119 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 34: Chase Lundt for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
They will replay Kyle McCord at No. 174 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Value with a capital V on Ajani Cornelius in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at No. 188 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick 211 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Taking Quincy Riley in slot 216 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in Round 7, Pick 18 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Somehow Ricky White III was still sitting there in pick No. 247, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
