Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the Round 5 slot on Gracen Halton, a name most had 26 spots down the list.

The Perkins Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano in slot 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
They took Arvell Reese at par in Round 2, Pick 16, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at pick 99 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Taking Harold Perkins Jr. in the 114th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
They reached into another round for Gracen Halton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
They liked Lee Hunter enough to skip the value, taking him in the 177th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They let Xavier Nwankpa come to them and pounced at pick No. 182. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick188 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
They jumped the gun on Quinten Joyner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney at pick 203 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A clean, defensible pick in the 231st pick with a little surplus value in Barion Brown. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
