Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Harris. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tre Harris at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at pick No. 44. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at No. 76 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in slot 150 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Taking Dylan Fairchild in the 172nd pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T.J. Sanders in pick 190, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at slot 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
