Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Carson Steele at the 133rd pick regardless, 76 picks early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Jennings value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. With cornerback, linebacker and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on defensive back is the choice that costs them.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They took Taliese Fuaga at par in slot 34, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 2 slot on T.J. Tampa with cornerback, linebacker and other spots unsolved.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 79 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
They did well to land T'Vondre Sweat in No. 85, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went defensive back with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at cornerback, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at the 133rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Demani Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ali Jennings
Steal is underselling it; Ali Jennings at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
