Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureA-
Milum should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a D+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Wyatt Milum, the No. 13 name on the board, stolen at the 247th pick.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Baker Mayfield leading the way.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
They took Kelvin Banks Jr. at par in the 4th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 14 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Jeanty at Round 2, Pick 6 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They read the board right and Isaiah Bond was the payoff at pick No. 44. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 69th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They let Ashton Gillotte come to them and pounced at No. 76. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick 77 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in Round 5, Pick 6, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the 168th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in pick 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Bech
They robbed the room for Jack Bech here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 187 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in slot 209, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Taking T.J. Sanders in pick No. 217 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Alfred Collins reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
They will replay Simeon Barrow Jr. at Round 7, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to pick 247, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
