Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Simon: B.

Call it larceny. Cody Simon sat on the board until the 249th overall pick, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Hawes reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
Nothing to complain about; Josh Simmons went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at Round 3, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 85 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach the 116th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 150th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to No. 172, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at No. 190 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick191 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray slid further than he should have, and pick No. 191 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in Round 6, Pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
