Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedA- TradesC FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Haynes King, taking him 52 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Wetjen pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In slot 12 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds is a better player than the 59th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Nothing to complain about; Jacob Rodriguez went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
Good price on Kaytron Allen in No. 152, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 5, Pick 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at pick No. 246 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in slot 256 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
