Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Kiser: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jack Kiser at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Thornton Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick No. 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 44th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Value with a capital V on Jack Bech in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 149, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They paid up for Jaylen Reed at Round 5, Pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick204 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
A reach for Alijah Huzzie in the 204th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Simeon Barrow Jr. a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at slot 217 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Circle this one: Robert Longerbeam at pick No. 239 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 247th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
