Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 180 on Patrick Payton a full 71 spots early.

On value alone, McAlister makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 20th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick112 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Taking Treydan Stukes in slot 112 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Farmer at No. 152 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan at pick 177 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the 180th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick221 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in pick No. 221 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at No. 225 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
