Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Bowman Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 116 name on the board, in Round 6, Pick 12.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Burch left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They paid a round early for Jordan Burch in No. 76, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in Round 5, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 172nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at the 174th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 190 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick211 Rnd6 Woody Marks
They barely believed it either: Woody Marks still on the board at slot 211. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in Round 7, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
