Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Neal: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Devin Neal slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at pick 186. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 12th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon is a better player than the 44th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 76 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach Round 5, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in No. 168, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 170. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A running back of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Somehow Devin Neal was still sitting there in pick No. 186, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
They robbed the room for Elijah Arroyo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to Round 7, Pick 32, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
