Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in No. 177: the Cowboys steal Brailsford and grade out a B+.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Parker Brailsford, the No. 107 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 177 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Zuhn III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Fair-plus on Jeremiyah Love, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Caleb Downs
You do not let a safety like Caleb Downs reach the 41st pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick48 Rnd2 Taurean York
They paid sticker price for Taurean York in the 48th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. in pick 68 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
No drama and no debate, Chase Bisontis went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 7. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Eric O'Neill
They liked Eric O'Neill enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 130. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at No. 177 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman at Round 6, Pick 15 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Rueben Owens
Rueben Owens at pick No. 214 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Haynes King
A premium they did not need to pay, Haynes King a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
