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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jalon Walker, Round 2, Pick 12, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Hemingway pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Fair-plus on Maxwell Hairston, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
By-the-book stuff, Bhayshul Tuten at the 149th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They did well to land Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 171, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
A clean, defensible pick in No. 174 with a little surplus value in DJ Giddens. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 204th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A slide stopped in slot 211, with Joshua Gray worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A reach for Teddye Buchanan in No. 239; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They jumped the gun on Tonka Hemingway, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
