Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Thomas: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Xavier Thomas, the No. 143 name on the board, sitting there at the 174th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every board in the league had Nourzad lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A quiet steal in slot 56: Jonathon Brooks for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Hunter Nourzad
Value said wait; Hunter Nourzad in the 95th overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 128 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at Round 4, Pick 33 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ainias Smith in the 159th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Somehow Xavier Thomas was still sitting there in pick 174, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They will replay Ryan Flournoy at Round 6, Pick 41 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Crum well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nick Samac
The board had cheaper options than Nick Samac at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
