Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Shough from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tyler Shough, slot 171, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 24th pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Nice patience on Omarion Hampton, who had no business lasting to No. 44. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A tidy little value on Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 12, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Good price on Logan Brown in pick 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
No edge and no loss on Ollie Gordon II in slot 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jay Higgins went about where he belonged in the 204th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at pick No. 211 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They robbed the room for Akili Arnold here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
