Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Hayden Conner, taking him 56 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Collins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slipping to pick No. 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at Round 3, Pick 12 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in No. 149, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in slot 171 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in the 174th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
The board had cheaper options than Alijah Huzzie at slot 204, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in pick No. 211, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Value said wait; Collin Oliver in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford in the 247th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
