Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Anthony Belton, 112 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Paul Jr.. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The Williams pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 22nd pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
They let Nick Emmanwori come to them and pounced at slot 25. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Walker in the 44th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
A curious use of pick No. 53. Quarterback needed the pick; an edge rusher in Mykel Williams did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in pick 57 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A tidy little value on Alfred Collins in Round 3, Pick 8, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at pick No. 76 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Value with a capital V on Deone Walker in the 81st pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 108th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
A conviction pick on Daylen Everette at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in No. 150 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A big swing on Anthony Belton at slot 152, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They talked themselves into Ar'maj Reed-Adams at No. 169, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in the 170th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 171st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
