Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Walker from sliding. Grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive. They are betting Watson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Jonathan Taylor gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in slot 117, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
No drama and no debate, Jackson Slater went about where he belonged in the 149th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in No. 171 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in the 174th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Nice patience on Upton Stout, who had no business lasting to No. 204. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick211 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at Round 6, Pick 35 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Fair-plus on Carson Vinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy little value on Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mac McWilliams in pick 247. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
