Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The Collin Oliver pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 83 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They banked enough surplus on Higgins to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at No. 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board fumbled Jayden Higgins all the way to Round 3, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick 158 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the 204th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tahj Brooks in pick No. 209. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Collin Oliver well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick217 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the 239th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in the 247th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
