Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Shough fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tyler Shough, the No. 153 name on the board, in the 249th pick.

They are betting Conner proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 12: Abdul Carter for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 44 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They did well to land Quinshon Judkins in the 76th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at No. 150 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in slot 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach the 172nd pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They let Chase Lundt come to them and pounced at pick 190. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at No. 211 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the 249th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
