Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Cowboys let Singleton 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 Nicholas Singleton fell into pick No. 209.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan slid further than he should have, and slot 17 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach the 49th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Jihaad Campbell worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
By-the-book stuff, Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 76 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 4, Pick 17 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 122 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 148th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Patrick Bryant
They will replay Patrick Bryant at pick 168 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
A quiet steal in the 170th pick: Xavier Scott for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick187 Rnd6 Connor Colby
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Connor Colby in pick 187. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 209 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They barely believed it either: Jamon Dumas-Johnson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 31. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
