Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 152nd overall pick: the Cowboys steal Walker and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jalon Walker at pick 152 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Reaching for Greene left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to pick No. 46, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 3, Pick 12 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
They robbed the room for Omarr Norman-Lott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 152 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 170th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at pick 172 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at slot 174 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They reached into another round for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 211th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick 234 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in slot 244, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Garrett Greene
Garrett Greene in No. 249 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
