Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Milum: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Wyatt Milum slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at pick 173. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 14 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at No. 44 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at Round 3, Pick 12 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 115th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in slot 148 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 170, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Milum still on the board at the 173rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dylan Fairchild reach slot 186 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kyle Kennard
Somehow Kyle Kennard was still sitting there in pick 187, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick209 Rnd6 Gunnar Helm
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
A quarterback of that caliber at the 248th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
