S
Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Cowboys ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Muhammad at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They are betting Tucker proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The Minkah Fitzpatrick pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 12 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell at the 26th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick60 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 60 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
They let Malik Muhammad come to them and pounced at the 91st pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
They went early on Ted Hurst in Round 5, Pick 1, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Isaiah World
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah World in the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
They reached into another round for Nadame Tucker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A reach for Red Murdock in slot 177; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A reach on VJ Payne in pick No. 180; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
