Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Collin Oliver at Round 6, Pick 35, a reach of 84 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rourke. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in No. 44, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They liked Shemar Turner enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 76. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A wild overpay on Jaylen Reed in pick No. 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick171 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
They robbed the room for Kurtis Rourke here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
The board fumbled Ajani Cornelius all the way to pick 204, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick239 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 239 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 247th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
