Draft Grade — Cowboys

ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 117: the Cowboys steal Castro and grade out a D.

The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Castro at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 3rd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 Xavier Restrepo
In pick 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deone Walker in slot 42. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the edge rusher. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Donovan Jackson reach Round 3, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Miller Moss
The board had Miller Moss higher than the 109th overall pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They robbed the room for Sebastian Castro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at Round 5, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at pick No. 169 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A tight end of that caliber at pick 170 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kobe Hudson in the 171st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Henry Parrish Jr.
They took Henry Parrish Jr. at par in slot 189, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Quinn Carroll
They did well to land Quinn Carroll in No. 208, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
