Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Igbinosun. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Davison Igbinosun slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at No. 112. Highway robbery.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
A clean, defensible pick in the 12th overall pick with a little surplus value in Arvell Reese. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at pick 92 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They barely believed it either: Davison Igbinosun still on the board at slot 112. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A quiet steal in the 177th pick: Tanner Koziol for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
By-the-book stuff, Kaleb Elarms-Orr at pick No. 180 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
