Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Richard Jibunor at pick No. 244 regardless, 28 picks early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Wallace at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in slot 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 87 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Value with a capital V on Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 38, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A slide stopped in the 216th pick, with Ryan Flournoy worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Caedan Wallace in pick 233, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at the 244th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
