Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
Leonard should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a D+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Riley Leonard at Round 5, Pick 31 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They will need Hook to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 27th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick 38 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
They let Princely Umanmielen come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 12. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at the 73rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in slot 91. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 113 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They will replay Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
They barely believed it either: Riley Leonard still on the board at No. 170. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 172nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at the 174th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Circle this one: Jonah Monheim at Round 5, Pick 39 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Nothing to complain about; JJ Pegues went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in pick 211; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
A conviction pick on Maxen Hook at pick No. 249 that the board grades a round light. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
