Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cowboys skipped the loudest one: cornerback is exactly as bare as it was. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had York lower, and that gap is the story. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 9 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Taurean York
A premium they did not need to pay, Taurean York a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
They took Jaden Greathouse at par in No. 109, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
They paid sticker price for Connor Tollison in the 148th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
They paid up for Tristan Leigh at Round 6, Pick 1 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
No drama and no debate, Riley Mahlman went about where he belonged in slot 214. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
