Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Mitchell Melton a full 78 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is not that Banks is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Neal at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In slot 6 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. More want than need.
Pick12 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 12th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 20th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 24 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A want over a need in No. 39: Caleb Banks adds an edge rusher while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick60 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A tidy little value on A.J. Haulcy in pick No. 60, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Zakee Wheatley, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick75 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 11 on Caden Curry, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Julian Neal in slot 91. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Taylen Green
They talked themselves into Taylen Green at the 112th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
No drama and no debate, Chase Roberts went about where he belonged in pick 150. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at the 177th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in pick No. 215 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
They paid sticker price for Hykeem Williams in slot 221, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mitchell Melton. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
