Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Tuten: C.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 151 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 249th overall pick. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Jonathan Taylor gives the group a proven body among the projects. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Hit on Ashton Jeanty and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 14 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy bit of business in the 76th pick, where Deone Walker graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slipping to Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 103 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in No. 150, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick No. 152 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 165th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick No. 172 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Steal is underselling it; Riley Leonard at pick 173 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Value with a capital V on Chase Lundt in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They read the board right and Nohl Williams was the payoff at the 190th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They paid sticker price for Hayden Conner in No. 211, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 16 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at slot 236 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at the 249th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
