Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Collin Oliver, 52 picks early at the 239th overall pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Mondon Jr. at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at No. 44. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tre Harris
No drama and no debate, Tre Harris went about where he belonged in slot 59. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They jumped the gun on Andrew Mukuba, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Zy Alexander at the 91st pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 129th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in the 149th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at slot 171 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 174th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
By-the-book stuff, Luke Lachey at pick No. 204 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 35, where Jay Higgins graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Collin Oliver. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
