Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D.

Nobody else had KJ Jefferson anywhere near the Round 5 slot. The Cowboys did, by 114 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Put together, it is a D.

They banked enough surplus on Simon to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. With cornerback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Kennard. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in pick No. 74 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in slot 76. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 83rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 88th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They reached into another round for Rylie Mills, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 4, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sonny Styles at safety with cornerback and tight end open.
Pick148 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 148 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 168 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Amari Kight
Amari Kight at slot 170 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 KJ Jefferson
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at Round 5, Pick 36, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in the 197th overall pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at pick No. 209 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at No. 248. The roster fit checks out.
