Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Thor Griffith at slot 209 is 168 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick No. 13 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 77th overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
A reach on Jayden Higgins in Round 4, Pick 12; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Blake Miller
They robbed the room for Blake Miller here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A conviction pick on Davison Igbinosun at the 170th pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jared Ivey
They talked themselves into Jared Ivey at slot 172, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick188 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A big swing on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at No. 188, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at pick 209. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
