Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Steven Parker, 103 picks early at Round 6, Pick 34. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mondon Jr.. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick 17 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 20th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They went early on Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at the 51st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at slot 74. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at pick 76 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 14 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Will Howard
They reached a country mile for Will Howard at No. 81, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Nothing to complain about; Darien Porter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach the 94th pick and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than the 99th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick109 Rnd4 Savion Williams
No edge and no loss on Savion Williams in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in pick No. 111 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at No. 113 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
They will replay Maxwell Hairston at pick 117 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 148th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 151st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to Round 5, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 173 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in pick 186, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Steven Parker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Steven Parker in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in Round 7, Pick 32 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
