Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Phillip Webb, 109 picks early at slot 171. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 13th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick34 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
The board had Luther Burden III higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Moore in the 78th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaxson Dart this early at No. 105. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
The board fumbled Michael Taaffe all the way to slot 168, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at pick No. 170, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
A wild overpay on Phillip Webb in the 171st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at No. 189. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West in the 209th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at pick No. 248 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
