Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B-.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Trey Moore, taking him 48 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Muhammad pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They jumped the gun on Zakee Wheatley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A straight-up fair deal on Domonique Orange at No. 75, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
A tidy bit of business in pick 112, where Malik Muhammad graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the 130th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
A reach on Nate Boerkircher in slot 152; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
