Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for McCord: B.

Call it larceny. Kyle McCord sat on the board until pick 211, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They are betting Baker proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slipping to pick No. 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Value with a capital V on Gunnar Helm in pick 76, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 150th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 170th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
They barely believed it either: Kyren Lacy still on the board at Round 5, Pick 33. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
Taking Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick190 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Fair-plus on JJ Pegues, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
They robbed the room for Kyle McCord here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tosh Baker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
