Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 219: the Cowboys steal Richardson and grade out a B.

Somebody in pick No. 219 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Decamerion Richardson, the No. 174 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Allen reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 24 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in pick 56 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 174 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nathaniel Watson at Round 6, Pick 41 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
The board fumbled Decamerion Richardson all the way to the 219th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Logan Lee
They paid a round early for Logan Lee in the 233rd pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They reached into another round for Joshua Cephus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
