Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Slovis from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Kedon Slovis, the No. 138 name on the board, sitting there at pick 174 like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 87th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at pick No. 124 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis in Round 5, Pick 38 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 212th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
A tidy bit of business in slot 245, where Cody Schrader graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
