Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in slot 216 lands the Cowboys a B, Devonshire and all.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: M.J. Devonshire, the No. 192 name on the board, in the 216th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Graham Barton. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 56th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Fair-plus on Blake Corum, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in the 90th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, McKinnley Jackson in Round 4, Pick 28. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in pick No. 134 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Taking M.J. Devonshire in No. 216 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
The board had cheaper options than Marcellas Dial at Round 7, Pick 13, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A tidy bit of business in slot 244, where Michael Barrett graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
