Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Jacob Rodriguez, taking him 33 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell in pick 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
A big swing on Jacob Rodriguez at No. 39, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 105 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 12: Ja'Kobi Lane for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III in the 152nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eric Rivers at the 177th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A reach for Red Murdock in No. 180; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
They took Miles Kitselman at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
