Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cowboys let Henderson fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 55 name on the board, stolen at pick 174.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The veteran additions, Wyatt Teller chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Derrick Harmon at pick 44. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 3, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick No. 150 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Joshua Farmer reach the 170th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 172 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the 174th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at No. 190 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in pick 211 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in slot 249 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
