Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Mukuba fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in slot 150 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Andrew Mukuba, the No. 87 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They robbed the room for Luther Burden III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Nothing to complain about; Maxwell Hairston went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in slot 150 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Somehow Kurtis Rourke was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They will replay Aeneas Peebles at pick 172 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James in pick No. 174 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
The board had Jay Higgins higher than the 190th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the 211th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 CJ West
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like CJ West reach pick No. 249 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
