Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Phillips: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jordan Phillips slide 57 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in the 44th pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at Round 5, Pick 11 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at pick 172 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They barely believed it either: Tommi Hill still on the board at No. 174. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in pick No. 190 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in No. 211 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ja'Corey Brooks in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
