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

The Jason Henderson pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 77 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That Hampton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at the 17th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick No. 44, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 17, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Restrepo at slot 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
A straight-up fair deal on Dillon Gabriel at No. 118, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zane Durant this early at the 148th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They paid sticker price for Connor Colby in pick No. 168, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Wease Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in pick 171 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at No. 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jason Henderson
They talked themselves into Jason Henderson at slot 209, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Deion Burks
A reach on Deion Burks in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
