Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Mullings from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Kalel Mullings sat on the board until the 169th pick, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting McCord proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 11 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to the 42nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at slot 73 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in pick No. 149, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Circle this one: Kalel Mullings at Round 5, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A tidy bit of business in the 186th pick, where Nazir Stackhouse graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
A reach on Kyle McCord in the 209th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
