Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Hadden: B.

When a board-topper like Kamal Hadden slides to Round 7, Pick 13, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Carter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 9 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 56 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Nice patience on Jaylen Wright, who had no business lasting to the 87th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in No. 88 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Taking Jacob Cowing in pick 169 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Walter Rouse at the 174th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
The board had Jaylan Ford higher than pick No. 216, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at No. 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington in pick No. 244 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
