Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureC
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Nolen: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Walter Nolen had no business being available in the Round 5 slot, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The cost of the Hancock reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
You do not let a running back like Ashton Jeanty reach slot 46 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
They barely believed it either: Kenneth Grant still on the board at the 76th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to No. 109, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Steal is underselling it; Elic Ayomanor at the 116th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in Round 5, Pick 11, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
They reached a country mile for Jordan Hancock at pick 173, and the board is aghast. A minor itch, scratched.
