Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B+
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureC+
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tyler Loop, 77 picks early at No. 242. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Bryant at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The veteran additions, Trey Hendrickson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In slot 30 they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison slid further than he should have, and the 59th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in the 70th pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 76 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Tyler Baron
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Baron. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
A quiet steal in pick 111: Jalen Milroe for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 129 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at No. 136 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jaylin Noel
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Noel still on the board at slot 149. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 171st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
They did well to land Chase Lundt in the 174th pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
They will replay Dorian Strong at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
You do not let a cornerback like Cobee Bryant reach pick 183 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 203rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They let Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson come to them and pounced at pick No. 204. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212
Rnd6
Pat Bryant
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 36 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214
Rnd6
CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at the 214th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Tyler Loop
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Loop in No. 242 is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
The board fumbled Craig Woodson all the way to slot 243, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick247
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
