Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Mondon Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Smael Mondon Jr. tumbling to the Cowboys in Round 7, Pick 31 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Hemingway reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter slipping to Round 1, Pick 14 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They will replay Tyleik Williams at No. 76 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at the 115th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hayden Conner. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Savion Williams
Somehow Savion Williams was still sitting there in the 168th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at pick 173 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at slot 186, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They read the board right and Joshua Gray was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 12. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 209 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
