Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Stone Handy at Round 7, Pick 31 regardless, 97 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That Bassa pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 12th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A slide stopped in No. 76, with Quinshon Judkins worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 150th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in pick No. 170, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Howard Cross III in slot 172, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in Round 5, Pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick190 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 190th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Value said wait; Brady Cook in pick 211 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Stone Handy
A wild overpay on Stone Handy in pick No. 249, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
