Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Higgins: B-.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jay Higgins fell into the Round 6 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Riley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 12 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
By-the-book stuff, Matthew Golden at slot 44 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at the 76th overall pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 148 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
They will replay Carson Schwesinger at pick 168 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the 170th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
A reach on Elijah Arroyo in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Upton Stout
A reasonable price with a little left over, Upton Stout in Round 6, Pick 11. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at the 209th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
They talked themselves into Shaun Dolac at pick 248, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
