Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Howard. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Will Howard slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at No. 149. Highway robbery.

The Carroll pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at slot 44 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard in the 149th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They went early on Cobee Bryant in the 171st overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Somehow Trevor Etienne was still sitting there in pick 174, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Taking Jaylen Reed in No. 204 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 211 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll at No. 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
They read the board right and Kitan Crawford was the payoff at slot 247. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
