Komicozzy DRAFTING FOR THECowboys
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
The Cowboys let Dotson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Call it larceny. Mello Dotson sat on the board until the 174th pick, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th overall pick they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Armand Membou
Armand Membou in pick 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than slot 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
You do not let a quarterback like Tyler Shough reach pick No. 170 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick172
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in the 172nd pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at Round 5, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. slipping to No. 190 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
The board had Jack Kiser higher than the 211th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
Steal is underselling it; Zeek Biggers at the 249th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
