Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a C-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Daevin Hobbs, 45 picks early at pick 225.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

If Mansoor Delane and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 12th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick 21 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They paid sticker price for Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at pick No. 112 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Value with a capital V on Justin Joly in Round 4, Pick 18, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
A big swing on Jalen Stroman at No. 152, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick177 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
By-the-book stuff, DJ Campbell at pick 177 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock at slot 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 Miller Moss
A conviction pick on Miller Moss at pick No. 221 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Value said wait; Daevin Hobbs in No. 225 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
