Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
Grand theft in pick No. 171: the Cowboys steal Noel and grade out a A-.

Somebody in pick 171 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Jaylin Noel, the No. 95 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Elijah Moore deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

In the end it comes back to Shavon Revel Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Fair-plus on Shavon Revel Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in No. 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A tidy little value on Maxwell Hairston in slot 76, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at pick 149 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Taking Jaylin Noel in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 174 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at Round 6, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Steal is underselling it; Jack Nelson at the 211th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They will replay Quincy Riley at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 23. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jarquez Hunter in pick No. 247, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
