Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cowboys did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

Getting Curry where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Styles has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at the 12th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the 120th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
No drama and no debate, Davison Igbinosun went about where he belonged in pick 151. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 159, where Max Iheanachor graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick215 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 215 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in Round 7, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Dijon Johnson at pick No. 225, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
