Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cowboys left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Styles has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Landing Curry that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 12 they get a green-dot type in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 20 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry is a better player than Round 4, Pick 20 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at slot 151 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at pick No. 159 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Value with a capital V on Xavier Nwankpa in the 178th pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick215 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
They paid sticker price for De'Zhaun Stribling in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in the 221st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at pick 225 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
