Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Larceny in the 221st overall pick lands the Cowboys a B-, Height and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Romello Height, pick No. 221, roughly 189 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for McCaskill left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 48. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Spencer Fano
You do not let an offensive lineman like Spencer Fano reach pick 79 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
By-the-book stuff, Bryce Lance at slot 112 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jermod McCoy
Somehow Jermod McCoy was still sitting there in the 150th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 177th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick No. 215 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Romello Height
Romello Height at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick225 Rnd7 Alton McCaskill
Alton McCaskill at slot 225 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
