Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Chestnut. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Duce Chestnut slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at pick 251. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Ogunbiyi pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
The board fumbled T.J. Tampa all the way to slot 62, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at Round 3, Pick 30, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
A reach for Isaiah Adams in the 136th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
A premium they did not need to pay, Aki Ogunbiyi a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III is a better player than No. 212 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
Duce Chestnut at the 251st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
