Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 218th overall pick on Luke Altmyer, a name most had 47 spots down the list.

Trotter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Jordyn Brooks pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in the 39th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Value with a capital V on Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 29, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
The board had Treydan Stukes higher than slot 107, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick No. 112 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
They went early on Nate Boerkircher in pick 152, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 154 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 177th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
They read the board right and Reggie Virgil was the payoff at pick 180. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Altmyer well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 TJ Hall
They will replay TJ Hall at No. 250 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nolan Rucci. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
