Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Davin Vann, 70 picks early at the 204th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They banked enough surplus on Warren to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at slot 51 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andrew Mukuba. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board had Omarr Norman-Lott higher than pick 85, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick No. 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They paid a round early for Tommi Hill in the 149th overall pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Reed, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick204 Rnd6 Davin Vann
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davin Vann in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 208 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers at pick 211 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at Round 7, Pick 1. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Fair-plus on Dante Trader Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 247 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
