Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
A-

FutureA
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cowboys were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Winston Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Bottom line, with Kenneth Grant leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 44 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
A slide stopped in slot 76, with Quinshon Judkins worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97
Rnd3
Will Howard
No edge and no loss on Will Howard in Round 3, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at pick 117 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
The board had cheaper options than O'Donnell Fortune at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bhayshul Tuten. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
A conviction pick on Jack Nelson at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
They paid up for Jack Kiser at pick No. 174 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at the 204th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
They talked themselves into Isaac TeSlaa at pick 211, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
A reach on Zeek Biggers in No. 236; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the 239th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao at slot 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
