Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Stone Handy at the 247th pick will need to, sitting 100 spots clear of his grade.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Belton. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 15 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in the 125th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
The board fumbled Anthony Belton all the way to the 170th pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 171 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at the 174th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in pick No. 188 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
They robbed the room for Dorian Strong here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Circle this one: JJ Pegues at pick 209 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Stone Handy
Stone Handy at the 247th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
