Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The cost of the Wohler reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That Fidone II pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They paid sticker price for Tetairoa McMillan in No. 12, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They took JT Tuimoloau at par in pick 44, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 149th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Addison West
A straight-up fair deal on Addison West at Round 6, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A slide stopped in pick No. 217, with Thomas Fidone II worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
No drama and no debate, Jermari Harris went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hunter Wohler well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
