Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Nobody had Tyler Shough this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 194 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 12. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Neal at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 2nd overall pick they get a featured back at fair value.
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 17th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
The board had Luther Burden III higher than slot 33, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick No. 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at slot 93 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
They reached into another round for Howard Cross III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Michael Taaffe in No. 167, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at the 171st pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in No. 178 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in slot 187, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 203 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Batty well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at the 214th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
They reached a country mile for Tyler Shough at pick 228, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
A big swing on Tommy Mellott at the 247th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
