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

When a board-topper like Will Howard slides to the 172nd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in No. 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander slipping to the 76th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at slot 170. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard in pick No. 172 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Good price on Willie Lampkin in pick 174, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They read the board right and JJ Pegues was the payoff at the 190th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to No. 211, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson in pick No. 249 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
