Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Milum. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Wyatt Milum had no business being available in No. 247, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 12 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to the 44th pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cam Ward
They robbed the room for Cam Ward here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the 149th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Armand Membou
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 171 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick No. 174 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trey Amos
They barely believed it either: Trey Amos still on the board at Round 6, Pick 35. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T.J. Sanders in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Milum at the 247th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
