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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 32 spots for Harold Perkins Jr., and value like that does not grow back.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Wheatley pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In No. 18 they get a two-high chess piece, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 CJ Allen
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 49th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
No edge and no loss on Malik Muhammad in the 92nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Harold Perkins Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
A want over a need in pick 112: Zakee Wheatley adds a safety while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick152 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World is a better player than No. 152 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Reggie Virgil at the Round 5 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Value with a capital V on Domani Jackson in pick 180, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall at slot 218 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
