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

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Max Llewellyn at pick No. 111 regardless, 39 picks early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Cowboys indulged a want in Llewellyn while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Fitzgerald at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In pick No. 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Zion Young
In slot 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacob Rodriguez. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 62nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Nothing to complain about; Zakee Wheatley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the 97th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Max Llewellyn at edge rusher with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 133 on Bishop Fitzgerald with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A slide stopped in the 177th overall pick, with Aamil Wagner worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 180th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright at pick No. 218 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zavion Thomas at Round 7, Pick 18 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
