Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Skattebo: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at pick 172 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kaleb Johnson at the 57th pick is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 74th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 76 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick150 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 150 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King at Round 5, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
