Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Moss: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Miller Moss had no business being available in the 239th overall pick, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In pick 27 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Hill Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
A straight-up fair deal on Germie Bernard at pick No. 62, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at No. 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton in the 94th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at Round 4, Pick 16 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
CJ Baxter slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 178th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
By-the-book stuff, Aamil Wagner at slot 179 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner in the 218th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
No edge and no loss on DeAndre Moore Jr. in the 228th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at Round 7, Pick 24 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
