Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Parrish should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jacob Parrish got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 32. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They are betting Biggers proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 15 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra slid further than he should have, and the 129th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A quiet steal in No. 158: Nick Nash for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Taking Jacob Parrish in pick No. 170 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They let Chase Lundt come to them and pounced at pick 171. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 176th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Nothing to complain about; Oronde Gadsden II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in Round 6, Pick 13, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at slot 209 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zeek Biggers. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in the 247th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
