Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A weekend the Cowboys spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Caden Prieskorn went at the 209th pick, a good 103 picks before the board was ready.

The Skattebo steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left cornerback open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A wild overpay on Jaxson Dart in the 44th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 148 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
They talked themselves into Antwane Wells Jr. at Round 5, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 173 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in the 186th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
Value said wait; Caden Prieskorn in No. 209 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Henry Parrish Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Henry Parrish Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jimmy Horn Jr. in Round 7, Pick 32, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
