Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 36 picks early on Kamran James, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Styles pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 18 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 24th overall pick they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Nice patience on Sonny Styles, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 17. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 70th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A reasonable price with a little left over, Daylen Everette in slot 97. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Trey Moore
A big swing on Trey Moore at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aamil Wagner. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A tidy little value on Pat Coogan in pick 177, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
They did well to land Jalon Daniels in No. 194, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
They paid sticker price for Brett Norfleet in the 215th pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They took Riley Mahlman at par in the 221st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kamran James
Kamran James in Round 7, Pick 9 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
