Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys let Tuten fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 151 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 31. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Reaching for West left real value on the table behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Mack Wilson Sr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 16 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy little value on Tyler Booker in pick 44, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Nothing to complain about; Jihaad Campbell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Phillips in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at slot 150. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They will replay Lathan Ransom at pick No. 172 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in the 174th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They talked themselves into Howard Cross III at slot 190, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Quincy Riley in the 211th overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
