Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Edwards: B+.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Donovan Edwards, the No. 204 name on the board, in slot 239.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 14 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They read the board right and Derrick Harmon was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Bond. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Value with a capital V on Carson Schwesinger in Round 3, Pick 16, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in slot 149 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick151 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 151st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid up for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 171 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 174 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jay Higgins at slot 204 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Fair-plus on Joshua Gray, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at the 239th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
