Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Moore: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Malachi Moore tumbling to the Cowboys in slot 172 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Robinson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 12th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Jackson in pick No. 45 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at pick 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Robinson this early at slot 116. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at Round 5, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Will Howard
They robbed the room for Will Howard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in No. 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
The board fumbled Malachi Moore all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They barely believed it either: Nick Nash still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick 190 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They reached a country mile for Clay Webb at No. 211, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ricky White III
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky White III reach pick No. 249 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
