Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA+
The Cowboys leave the weekend clear winners: A-.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Jalen Travis as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. That Walker pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Adding DeAndre Hopkins by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, with Walter Nolen leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick No. 44 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at slot 76 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
A tidy little value on Mitchell Evans in pick 151, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Nice patience on Damien Martinez, who had no business lasting to the 171st overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
The board had Seth McLaughlin higher than pick No. 174, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in the 204th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at No. 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick239 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Value said wait; Torricelli Simpkins III in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at slot 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
