Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cowboys, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Smith at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and tight end went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 20 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in the 39th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Dillon Thieneman graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Genesis Smith adds a safety and leaves quarterback and tight end untouched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Nothing to complain about; Logan Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They took DeMonte Capehart at par in slot 144, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A straight-up fair deal on Demond Claiborne at pick No. 150, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
No edge and no loss on Ted Hurst in pick No. 177; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Nwokobia at slot 215 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in No. 221 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick 225 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
