Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Cowboys a B+, Mukuba and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Andrew Mukuba slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the Round 6 slot. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Oladejo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The Germaine Pratt pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 49th overall pick 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.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They paid sticker price for Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 12, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 117 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They let Dylan Fairchild come to them and pounced at slot 119. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ozzy Trapilo
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ozzy Trapilo reach pick 149 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They barely believed it either: Tyler Shough still on the board at the 170th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in No. 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 188 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in slot 193 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Miles Frazier in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tommi Hill
Circle this one: Tommi Hill at the 247th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
