Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
Conviction outran the board for the Cowboys, and it cost them: F.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Phillip Webb, taking him 106 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Thornton Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in the 33rd pick, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slipping to No. 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Azareye'h Thomas at the 67th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Alfred Collins in pick 72. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 76, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Milroe at slot 94, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 104: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They took Bhayshul Tuten at par in the 149th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A reach on Jack Nelson in Round 5, Pick 33; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga
They reached into another round for Luke Elzinga, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
They reached a country mile for CJ Dippre at the 211th pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A real head-scratcher, Phillip Webb in pick No. 239 is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
