Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Emmanwori from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Nick Emmanwori sat on the board until slot 76, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the McLeod reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 24th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
You do not let a wide receiver like Luther Burden III reach No. 44 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to slot 76, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick No. 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
The board had Kurtis Rourke higher than pick 149, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
Value said wait; Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 5, Pick 33 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 187th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in the 204th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jay Higgins. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They did well to land Luke Lachey in pick 211, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A quiet steal in the 239th pick: Desmond Watson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 247 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
