Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 211 lands the Cowboys a A-, Ersery and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Aireontae Ersery, pick No. 211, roughly 166 picks past where he belonged.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

In the end it comes back to Travis Hunter, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 20 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
You do not let a running back like Ashton Jeanty reach Round 2, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in slot 51 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
The board had Tre Harris higher than the Round 3 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in pick 85, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 149th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at the 191st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick197 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at the 197th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at the 204th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Aireontae Ersery
The board fumbled Aireontae Ersery all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
