Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 211th pick lands the Cowboys a B, Martinez and all.

When a board-topper like Damien Martinez slides to Round 6, Pick 33, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

The Truss reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 12 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 44th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A big swing on Cam Skattebo at Round 3, Pick 12, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
A tidy bit of business in slot 150, where Rylie Mills graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Steal is underselling it; Anthony Belton at pick No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 172nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at pick 174 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They barely believed it either: Jack Nelson still on the board at the Round 6 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Damien Martinez in the 211th overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A wild overpay on Xavier Truss in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
