Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Nobody had Phillip Webb this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 122 spots to get him at pick 171.

Higgins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luther Burden III in the 33rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in the 78th pick with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to slot 104, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at pick No. 170. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
A real head-scratcher, Phillip Webb in No. 171 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick189 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 189th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 34 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joey Slackman well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
