Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, 92 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. However the rest shakes out, Brailsford at that price is a win they earned.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
No drama and no debate, Ashton Jeanty went about where he belonged in the 1st overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 12th pick they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in Round 2, Pick 2 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick No. 44 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Value with a capital V on Xavier Watts in No. 65, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Bech this early at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick 150, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
They barely believed it either: Parker Brailsford still on the board at the 169th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 170, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at slot 171 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo slid further than he should have, and No. 209 is lovely value for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
