Draft Grade — Cowboys

The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Brady Cook; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 142 spots ahead at slot 104. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

Getting Higgins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They took Isaiah Bond at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Nice patience on Alfred Collins, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 14. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brady Cook
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at the 104th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at No. 170, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
They will replay Michael Taaffe at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at pick 189, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 34 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at slot 248 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
