Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Brady Cook a full 79 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

That Nolen pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 44 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A straight-up fair deal on O'Donnell Fortune at No. 149, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at the 171st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They took Ollie Gordon II at par in Round 5, Pick 36, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brady Cook
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brady Cook. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 211th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at Round 7, Pick 23 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They read the board right and Isaac TeSlaa was the payoff at the 247th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
