Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Cowboys, and a C- to match.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Amari Kight, taking him 301 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.

Leonard falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Amari Kight and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Amari Kight
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at No. 44 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They jumped the gun on Danny Stutsman, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 149 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Makari Paige
A real head-scratcher, Makari Paige in slot 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in Round 6, Pick 28 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
They will replay Riley Leonard at slot 211 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They reached a country mile for Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 217th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Value said wait; Joey Slackman in the 239th pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Steal is underselling it; Phil Mafah at pick No. 247 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
