Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cowboys never addressed cornerback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Beebe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper Beebe
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at pick 32, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 56 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in the 87th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Nothing to complain about; Trey Benson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen McMillan at the 95th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
