Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Evan Anderson, 39 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Devonshire to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They liked Kingsley Suamataia enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 56. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in slot 114, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at the 174th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing M.J. Devonshire in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Cephus. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
