Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
Moore Jr. should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: DeAndre Moore Jr., the No. 71 name on the board, in pick No. 96. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 32nd pick they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at pick No. 64. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick96 Rnd3 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They robbed the room for DeAndre Moore Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Will Lee III
A straight-up fair deal on Will Lee III at No. 109, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at slot 148 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Quintrevion Wisner
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quintrevion Wisner at the 177th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Avery Johnson
They paid sticker price for Avery Johnson in Round 6, Pick 38, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant slipping to pick 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
