Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jamaree Caldwell in the 190th overall pick, a good 107 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Burnip. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A slide stopped in the 12th pick, with Ashton Jeanty worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Savion Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Savion Williams. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They let Cody Simon come to them and pounced at No. 150. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at Round 5, Pick 31 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 172nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
They reached into another round for Miles Frazier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick 190 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 211, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 James Burnip
A specialist of that caliber at slot 249 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
