Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 249 lands the Cowboys a B, Reed and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jaylen Reed slide 70 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 12th overall pick they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They robbed the room for Luther Burden III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 76th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at Round 5, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
Nice patience on RJ Harvey, who had no business lasting to slot 170. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 172 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at No. 174, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 190 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick 211 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Taking Jaylen Reed in Round 7, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
