Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Bowman Jr. should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a A.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 121 name on the board, sitting there at No. 174 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dylan Sampson at the 76th pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Nice patience on Omarr Norman-Lott, who had no business lasting to the 89th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at pick No. 127 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
They will replay Jaylin Noel at slot 150 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 28: Logan Brown for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Rylie Mills in pick 170, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
You do not let a quarterback like Kyle McCord reach No. 172 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in slot 211 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick249 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at No. 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
