Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Hancock should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jordan Hancock, the No. 30 name on the board, in the 189th overall pick.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 16th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 47 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in Round 3, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rylie Mills. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cam Ward
You do not let a quarterback like Cam Ward reach slot 153 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in No. 172 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick No. 179 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick No. 189 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 208th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They barely believed it either: Jake Briningstool still on the board at pick 218. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Shemar Turner
They will replay Shemar Turner at slot 228 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
