Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 136 spots for Thor Griffith, and value like that does not grow back. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Emmanwori pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid sticker price for Alfred Collins in the 57th pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick No. 58 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Slater well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Shough. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They read the board right and Logan Brown was the payoff at the 170th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 172 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. The roster fit checks out.
