Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 174th overall pick lands the Cowboys a B, Smith and all.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Brashard Smith fell into pick 174. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If Parr pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 17th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A straight-up fair deal on JT Tuimoloau at the 44th pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
A real head-scratcher, Cameron Williams in Round 2, Pick 17 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in pick 149, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
The board fumbled Tyler Shough all the way to pick No. 171, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at slot 174 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick 204 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Dont'e Thornton Jr. reach Round 6, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris is a better player than pick No. 239 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
