Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureC+
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at the 237th overall pick regardless, 73 picks early.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kiser. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Walter Nolen in the 25th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Demetrius Knight Jr. a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick53
Rnd2
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick 53 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy little value on TreVeyon Henderson in slot 58, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick No. 76 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Andrew Mukuba for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Nice patience on Danny Stutsman, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 7. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Vernon Broughton. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
The board had cheaper options than Willie Lampkin at pick 170, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
No edge and no loss on RJ Harvey in pick No. 172; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 174th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190
Rnd6
Mitchell Evans
A tight end of that caliber at slot 190 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
The board fumbled Cobee Bryant all the way to No. 211, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at slot 249 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
