Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Higgins fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jay Higgins fell into pick 149. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Belton lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 11 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Value said wait; Kenneth Grant in No. 42 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to the 149th pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Barion Brown
They took Barion Brown at par in Round 5, Pick 31, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 170 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Gentry Williams
They talked themselves into Gentry Williams at the 171st overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaeden Roberts
They robbed the room for Jaeden Roberts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
