Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Princewill Umanmielen, 89 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Reese that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the 15th overall pick they get juice off the edge, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 28 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick115 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They took Domani Jackson at par in pick No. 115, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 155 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick178 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A reach on DJ Campbell in pick 178; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd5 Princewill Umanmielen
A wild overpay on Princewill Umanmielen in Round 5, Pick 39, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick216 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They liked DeAndre Moore Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 216th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They paid sticker price for Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 14, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
