Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Caden Curry, 66 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Wheatley pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still on the board. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a two-high chess piece, even if it was a touch early.
Pick28 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In pick No. 28 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at slot 59 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots to take Zakee Wheatley, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick95 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at pick 95 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They did well to land Kaleb Elarms-Orr in slot 180, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Nothing to complain about; Jeremiah Wright went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
