Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Mickens from sliding. Grade: B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Cowboys should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
On value alone, Mickens makes the weekend a net positive. Every board in the league had Henderson lower, and that gap is the story.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 30th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
TreVeyon Henderson
In pick No. 31 they get a featured back, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick59
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A tidy little value on Alfred Collins in pick 59, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Barrett Carter. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Nice patience on Tez Johnson, who had no business lasting to slot 109. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
By-the-book stuff, Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149
Rnd5
Trevor Etienne
Good price on Trevor Etienne in pick 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in Round 5, Pick 36 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Kiser at the 176th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 177th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick204
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 204 with a little surplus value in Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 211 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in slot 239 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone in Round 7, Pick 31 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
