Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a C.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Phillip Webb at pick 168 regardless, 118 picks early.

The Skattebo steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 76th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at slot 125 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
They reached into another round for Phillip Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick170 Rnd5 Addison West
Addison West at Round 5, Pick 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to Round 5, Pick 36, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in pick 186 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the 248th pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
