Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Restrepo should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a A.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Xavier Restrepo, the No. 22 name on the board, in pick 170.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In the end it comes back to Walter Nolen, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
Circle this one: T.J. Sanders at slot 94 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Ward
They will replay Cam Ward at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach pick No. 119 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in the 130th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at No. 151 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 169 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
Taking Xavier Restrepo in No. 170 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 172nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at slot 188 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick209 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
