Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Cowboys bet the future on Maye. The board says D.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Caelen Carson tumbling to the Cowboys in Round 5, Pick 38 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Chop Robinson at the 56th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They robbed the room for Kool-Aid McKinstry here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A reasonable price with a little left over, MarShawn Lloyd in the 103rd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Caelen Carson
Circle this one: Caelen Carson at No. 174 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee slipping to pick 233 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace slid further than he should have, and pick No. 244 is lovely value for the linebacker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
