Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Nobody else had Myles Hinton anywhere near the 249th overall pick. The Cowboys did, by 140 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Landing Henderson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 44th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Shavon Revel Jr.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Shavon Revel Jr. in pick No. 76, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 150 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at the 170th overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at Round 5, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jackson Slater
They barely believed it either: Jackson Slater still on the board at Round 6, Pick 12. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the 211th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Myles Hinton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Hinton this early at the 249th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
