Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 3 slot lands the Cowboys a B, Watts and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Watts, pick 76, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged.

The Kiser reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They let Omarion Hampton come to them and pounced at No. 44. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the 76th overall pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 149th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A premium they did not need to pay, JJ Pegues a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They paid sticker price for Ajani Cornelius in pick 174, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at slot 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Value with a capital V on Tahj Brooks in Round 6, Pick 35, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
No edge and no loss on Mac McWilliams in the 239th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
