Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Trey Zuhn III, 59 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 18 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 112th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
They talked themselves into Trey Zuhn III at the 150th pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bud Clark
The board had cheaper options than Bud Clark at No. 177, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
Value said wait; Jordan Hall in the 215th overall pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 221 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at slot 225 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
