Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Ulysses Bentley IV, 117 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Mafah steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 12 they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Nice patience on Omarion Hampton, who had no business lasting to No. 44. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They liked Chris Paul Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at pick No. 150 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 170 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at the 172nd pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 174th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ulysses Bentley IV
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ulysses Bentley IV this early at pick 190. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in Round 6, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 236 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Henry Parrish Jr.
A reach on Henry Parrish Jr. in the 249th pick; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
