Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Cowboys let Kiser fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jack Kiser got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 249th overall pick. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in pick No. 44 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A tidy little value on Quinshon Judkins in No. 76, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A reach on Tez Johnson in slot 81; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in the 116th pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They let Cam Skattebo come to them and pounced at the 118th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at Round 5, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They paid sticker price for Connor Colby in slot 172, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 5, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
They did well to land Antwane Wells Jr. in pick 190, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Circle this one: Dorian Strong at the 191st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They robbed the room for Jason Marshall Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at pick No. 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
