Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Skattebo: C+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Cam Skattebo slide 90 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Zuhn III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 19 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 47 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.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at pick No. 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They did well to land Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 14, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 84th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They let Dylan Fairchild come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 114 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Zuhn III well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 31, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 172nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 174th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick190 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. is a better player than pick 190 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at No. 195. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick No. 211 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
