Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Warren fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Tyler Warren sat on the board until pick 44, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

The TeSlaa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 44th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins is a better player than No. 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
The board had Mello Dotson higher than the Round 5 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in Round 5, Pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They paid sticker price for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 204, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Nice patience on KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who had no business lasting to slot 211. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A big swing on Isaac TeSlaa at the 217th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Taking R.J. Mickens in slot 239 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 7, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
