Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys let Singleton fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 99 name on the board, sitting there at the 209th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Bottom line, with Luther Burden III leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 44th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than the 51st pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in slot 76, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Fair-plus on Maxwell Hairston, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in pick 148 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at No. 168 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach pick No. 170 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
They barely believed it either: Robert Spears-Jennings still on the board at pick No. 187. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the 209th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
A clean, defensible pick in the 234th pick with a little surplus value in Roc Taylor. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
