Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+

Grand theft in pick No. 213: the Cowboys steal Murphy and grade out a B+.

Somebody in Round 6, Pick 38 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Grayson Murphy, the No. 160 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They are betting Nugent proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Adding Brian Robinson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Circle this one: Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T'Vondre Sweat in pick 87, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Trey Benson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Benson in the 103rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in the 173rd pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in pick No. 213 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick231 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
They will replay Elijah Jones at No. 231 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 22, where Tyler Owens graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
