Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for JJ Pegues, 38 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Revel Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Taking Shavon Revel Jr. in the 44th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinshon Judkins at No. 76 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 149th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A conviction pick on Jaylen Reed at slot 174 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 204 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Nothing to complain about; Jay Higgins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Value said wait; Isaac TeSlaa in slot 217 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at pick 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
