Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The kind of value that does not make headlines but wins seasons: Makhi Hughes to the Cowboys in pick No. 221. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Overton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 LT Overton
In pick 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 31 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Anthony Hill Jr. in slot 47. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tacario Davis. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at the 155th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac Smith in the 176th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick179 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
Value with a capital V on CJ Daniels in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes at No. 221 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at the 233rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
