HR DRAFTING FOR THECowboys
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
The Cowboys let Castro fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Sebastian Castro tumbling to the Cowboys in the Round 5 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The cost of the Hemingway reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to slot 44, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Fair-plus on Deone Walker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at Round 5, Pick 11. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168
Rnd5
Connor Colby
They jumped the gun on Connor Colby, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in pick 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at pick No. 173 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
A big swing on Tonka Hemingway at No. 186, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at pick No. 209, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Micah Morris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Micah Morris well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
