Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D-.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Elijah Paige, taking him 44 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is not that Nichols is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Green.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Boubacar Traore
In pick No. 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Trey'Dez Green in the 47th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bear Alexander
They took Bear Alexander at par in No. 61, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears at the 63rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in pick 65 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Reed Harris
They reached into another round for Reed Harris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 LJ Martin
They talked themselves into LJ Martin at slot 100, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dom Nichols
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dom Nichols at edge rusher with linebacker open.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige at the 131st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Xavier Lucas
A wild overpay on Xavier Lucas in the 142nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
