Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped McCord from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kyle McCord got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 149th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Reaching for Hemingway left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at the 44th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 76 with a little surplus value in Maxwell Hairston. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at No. 171 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in slot 174 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Upton Stout
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Upton Stout in the Round 6 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in Round 6, Pick 35 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shemar James
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar James. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
The board had cheaper options than Tonka Hemingway at the 247th pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
