Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys let Mickens fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

They banked enough surplus on Mickens to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Conner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A quiet steal in pick No. 33: Tyler Warren for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omarion Hampton at No. 45. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 149th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Que Robinson
They went early on Que Robinson in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at the 174th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 204th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
They barely believed it either: R.J. Mickens still on the board at the 239th overall pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick 247 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
