Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Brooks should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Tahj Brooks sat on the board until the 190th pick, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Jennings left real value on the table behind him. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick No. 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins is a better player than Round 3, Pick 12 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 150 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
No drama and no debate, Cobee Bryant went about where he belonged in slot 170. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King at the 172nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in the 174th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Taking Tahj Brooks in No. 190 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kevin Jennings
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kevin Jennings well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
The board had Kitan Crawford higher than pick No. 249, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
