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

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Tim Keenan III, taking him 29 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 12th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell at Round 1, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Muhammad. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
A big swing on Tim Keenan III at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Stroman well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick177 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
No edge and no loss on DJ Campbell in No. 177; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
The board had cheaper options than Miles Kitselman at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
A straight-up fair deal on Noah Whittington at Round 7, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Miller Moss
They paid sticker price for Miller Moss in No. 225, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
