Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cowboys, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If Reese pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback, tight end and other spots went begging. However the rest shakes out, Sabb at that price is a win they earned.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 20 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the 24th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They paid sticker price for Sonny Styles in Round 2, Pick 19, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Value with a capital V on Kamari Ramsey in No. 63, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
A want over a need in the 95th pick: Keon Sabb adds a safety while cornerback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick114 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
No edge and no loss on Charles Jagusah in pick 114; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A tidy little value on Blake Miller in pick No. 131, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaydn Ott at No. 177 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell in pick No. 220 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A reasonable price with a little left over, De'Zhaun Stribling in pick 231. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
