Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Jordan Whittington at the 251st overall pick, roughly 28 spots before his name belonged.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Murphy. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Blake Corum
A conviction pick on Blake Corum at slot 62 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 30 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
A quiet steal in the 130th overall pick: Gabriel Murphy for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 174 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in No. 212, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They talked themselves into Jordan Whittington at pick No. 251, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
