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

The Cowboys did not so much draft Stone Handy as overpay for him, 112 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Getting Bassa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at the 44th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in pick 76 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tai Felton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tai Felton in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 173rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Stone Handy
Stone Handy at the 186th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach Round 6, Pick 34 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Aydan White
They went early on Aydan White in pick No. 248, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
