Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Washington Jr. should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Mike Washington Jr. fell into Round 3, Pick 28.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Perkins Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 12th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 20th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
They will replay Mike Washington Jr. at slot 92 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A big swing on Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Chris McClellan
Nice patience on Chris McClellan, who had no business lasting to pick 152. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at Round 5, Pick 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil at No. 180 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jadon Canady. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
