Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The war room fell hard for Da'Shawn Womack, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 31 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Casey at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 12th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick 20 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick112 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Boubacar Traore in pick No. 112, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A quiet steal in slot 151: Kage Casey for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Robert Spears-Jennings. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick221 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A reach for Riley Mahlman in Round 7, Pick 5; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
