Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Henderson: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how TreVeyon Henderson got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at No. 150. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Spending an early pick on edge rusher with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

The Stackhouse reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Abdul Carter in slot 13. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
A curious use of Round 2, Pick 12. Wide receiver, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in James Pearce Jr. did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to pick No. 82, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A tight end of that caliber at No. 122 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Burch at the 169th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in pick 170 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 171st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach the 190th pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick192 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They went early on Bryce Foster in Round 6, Pick 17, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 209 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
