Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
The Cowboys robbed the room for Golday. Final grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Jake Golday slides to Round 3, Pick 28, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

The cost of the Perkins Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In slot 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Steal is underselling it; Jake Golday at pick No. 92 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in No. 95 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at the 152nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at the 177th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner is a better player than Round 5, Pick 40 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
A clean, defensible pick in pick 218 with a little surplus value in Jimmy Rolder. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
