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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 78 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot.

They will need Wease Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. It is not that Overton is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 13 they get a home-run threat at receiver, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
They did well to land Mykel Williams in the 44th pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 LT Overton
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 27: LT Overton adds an edge rusher while quarterback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick127 Rnd4 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at slot 127. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
They robbed the room for Nicholas Singleton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in No. 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 170th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A wild overpay on Theo Wease Jr. in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
They reached a country mile for Davison Igbinosun at slot 202, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 David Walker
Steal is underselling it; David Walker at the 209th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
