Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Noah Thomas, taking him 80 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The Keenan III steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Adding Steve Avila by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Taurean York
A reach on Taurean York in Round 2, Pick 9; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
No edge and no loss on Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 58th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tim Keenan III
They robbed the room for Tim Keenan III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They paid sticker price for Will Lee III in pick No. 109, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kage Casey in slot 148. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bear Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bear Alexander in pick 186, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Rueben Owens
Rueben Owens at pick No. 214 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Noah Thomas in Round 7, Pick 5 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
