Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureD
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Marvin Jones Jr. at the 234th pick, a reach of 103 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Dunker value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Lee Hunter
In the 26th overall pick they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
The board had Anthony Hill Jr. higher than the Round 2 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at pick No. 92 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Mike Washington Jr. at pick 112 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
No drama and no debate, Skyler Gill-Howard went about where he belonged in No. 152. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
They paid sticker price for Nate Boerkircher in the 154th pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore in pick 162 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Elarms-Orr. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
They took Dae'Quan Wright at par in pick No. 174, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis at Round 5, Pick 37 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd5 Josh Cameron
By-the-book stuff, Josh Cameron at the 180th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
They talked themselves into Marvin Jones Jr. at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
