Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 57 picks early on Will Howard, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Landing Rourke that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Will Howard
Value said wait; Will Howard in slot 44 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in No. 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They paid up for Cody Simon at pick No. 118 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke slipping to the 151st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at Round 5, Pick 33 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They did well to land DJ Giddens in pick 174, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 204th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 211th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at No. 232, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at pick No. 239 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at slot 247 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
