Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Nobody had Xavier Truss this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 88 spots to get him at slot 206. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
Marks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omarion Hampton. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56
Rnd2
Andrew Mukuba
A wild overpay on Andrew Mukuba in the 56th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Que Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Que Robinson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Williams at slot 171 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 5, Pick 36 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204
Rnd6
Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers at pick No. 204 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206
Rnd6
Xavier Truss
They reached a country mile for Xavier Truss at No. 206, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
A reach on Jabbar Muhammad in Round 7, Pick 6; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228
Rnd7
Woody Marks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Woody Marks in pick 228, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
They went early on Zeek Biggers in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244
Rnd7
Davin Vann
A big swing on Davin Vann at the 244th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick247
Rnd7
Shemar James
Shemar James in slot 247 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
