Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Mendoza: B-.

The search is over. The Cowboys handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

They will need Hobbs to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Moss. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 13th pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In No. 24 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They will replay Gennings Dunker at pick No. 48 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen slid further than he should have, and pick 114 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
A big swing on Lee Hunter at Round 5, Pick 13, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in slot 177 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd5 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
They talked themselves into Pat Coogan at the 220th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Miller Moss
The board fumbled Miller Moss all the way to pick No. 231, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
