Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The war room fell hard for DeMonte Capehart, and it showed at the Round 6 slot: 179 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Landing Hardy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Their trades came out a wash either way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 57th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 126. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Myles Cole
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Cole well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 213 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
They reached a country mile for Dominique Hampton at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
