Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Simpson: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jaylin Simpson slide 79 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Wallace pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylen Wright a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A big swing on McKinnley Jackson at the 87th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Melton
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to the 94th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trevin Wallace
A real head-scratcher, Trevin Wallace in pick 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They robbed the room for Cornelius Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 216 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Delmar Glaze
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They paid up for Sam Hartman at No. 244 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
