Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Noel: A.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jaylin Noel slide 75 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Steal is underselling it; Luther Burden III at slot 44 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slipping to the 76th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 97, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in No. 136 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
They will replay Jordan Phillips at pick No. 149 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Somehow Jaylin Noel was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the 176th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at the 204th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Value with a capital V on Carson Vinson in Round 7, Pick 12, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Sam Brown
Sam Brown at pick No. 239 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the 247th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It fills a real need, too.
